The wing tip dowels were cut from toothpicks.
The ends were rounded and all three were sealed with two coats of varnish, sanding between coats.
I wanted to paint them white before gluing to the wing tips.
They were stuck to masking tape (sticky side up) on a strip of cardboard with the exposed ends over the edge.
This is the flip side of the cardboard.
This way I could spray all sides of the dowels and have a raw wood edge for gluing to the wings.
After drying you can see the bare wood for a glue line.
