Does anyone know of a good (online/mail-order) vendor for ordering wood screws? I'm in need of some unusually sized wood screws (#14 course thread 3/4" pan or round head) that my local hardware stores do not carry. I found a few online vendors, but they only sell in large quantities such as 1,000 screws for ~$75. Given I only need 8, a full thousand is a bit excessive and expensive. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows of a vendor that can provide what I need in a more "reasonable" quantity. Thanks.

Thanks. Unfortunately the shortest #14 wood screw they have is 1" and its a flat head. So my search continues... *sigh*

Have you looked locally for a screw/fastener supplier? I live in a relatively small town and we have 2. They have every variety of screw you could ever imagine. Look in the yellow pages under "Screws"

I'll give that a try. I only checked numerous hardware stores, woodcraft, rockler, and the big boxes. I didn't think of any type of specialty store. I found some listed under "Fasteners". Thanks Larry.

Does your town have an Ace hardware? I found some hard to find screws there a few times.

If you only need a few just get some #14 pan head sheet metal screws and cut them off to the desired length. You will need a pilot hole for something that big anyway, so the pointy end is not important.

Fastenal has these:

#14-10 x 3/4" Slotted Round Head Wood Screw, Brass SKU: 75451

They also have the same screw in stainless for about $5.00 each.

Fastenal has a number of #14 x 3/4 stainless panhead screws for less than a dollar each.

(Tried to add link but it won't work on this site for some reason)

These work in wood, not sure what your application is, but these are available in my local store, and with a thread that large they pretty much grab in anything.
