Please can anyone point me to a source for 30mm veneer pins?
It is veneer pins (1.0mm dia with an inconspicuous head) that I am after, as against panel pins which are usually 1.6mm dia or moulding pins which rarely state a diameter.
Longest found via web search is 25mm which is too short: 40mm would be a tad too long.
Reason: accurate furniture restoration project: any help greatly appreciated.
TIA
Or
It's not escutcheon pins you're after is it?
Perhaps these might do?
I don't know if they exist or not and don't intend to look for you, but a thought:
Air nailer pins - very thin and certainly available, separate them from the strip and use them as normal. If you only need a couple I will send you some in an envelope.

Nothing over 25mm in veneer pins by the look of it
If its historic furniture, presumably 1 1/4" would be the original size, or 32mm.
Lets hope you dont have to make some from 1mm wire.

I needed something similar once, and I ended up putting long panel pins in the lathe and turning the heads down a bit.
You can also use dressmaking pins, but these are brass and a bit soft to drive into most timber.
