Mountmaking Forum ›half-oval brass rod
jim 5/30/08
My supplier of brass, Copper and Brass Sales Inc., has informed me
that they no longer carry half-round, or half-oval brass rod. They
weren't able to refer me to other suppliers as they don't know of
any. Anybody out there have a good source for the type of material?
Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim, You might try Metalmen Sales - http://www.metalmensales.com - Jeff has always been a great help in finding sizes for me. I'm not sure whether they have 1/2 round. Good luck.

We get our half-oval from Benchmark and our half-round from McMaster-Carr.

I sometimes get half oval from Jamestown Distibutors, a marine supplier. It's a fun catalog. Here's the link:
