For the traditional rond black bomb I'd use a small bead - I think they're called rocailles or seed beads.
You can get them in black glass. Just put a short length of white thread in the middle and you have a fuse.
Put a red thread in the middle you have a glowing fuse.

I need to make some bundles of dynamite soon.

I was going to cut off short lengths of barbecue skewers or cocktail sticks (depending on what looks 'right') and just stick a piece of wire in the end.

I dont know if that will be realistic enough for you, but I think it will work for me.

I think both (especially the skewers) will be far too large but you are on the right track, just think smaller

I tried making my own, using wire but never got it right. Thats why I wondered if anyone sells them.

Beads or small BBs will work and cut some thin plastic rods for the TNT.

Yes, styrene rod must come in umpty-ump sizes. There ought to be one that works out.
