Hi,

I have nice rocking chair, but couple of spindles are broked and missing.

Do you have any ideas where can I buy spindles or at least some wooden rods to make spindles from them?

Regards,

Victor

Try Rockler.

They have dowels in a variety of hardwoods that can be turned.

Whether you're talking about vertical spindles in the back of the chair or stretchers running between the legs, they will almost certainly have to be made to order for them to fit properly.
