I did consider alu rod for mine, but then there's the faff of drilling and tapping for the fixing bolt/screw, so I just got another wooden dowel from local timber merchants.

I have a knackered wilkos broom in the cellar. Assume the handle is plastic coated aluminium. Could cut a length off that and drop it round to try. Going tip later in the week otherwise.
Finding a suitable stick would have more of a rustic appeal...

Cracked mine and took the screw through the canvas when I clipped a gate.
I just undid it, opened up the crack and put a bit of wood glue in then used some cable ties to clamp it. Then added a washer to the screw.

My oldest carradice dowel has cracked. Has anyone here replaced the dowel with another material?
