  I've had fair luck finding miniature hardware in hobby
shops specializing in model railroads.  I've been able to
find both wood and machine hardware.
  The little bags the screws are in are marked as follows:
VSI Fasteners Inc, Stanton CA 90680
Regal Fasteners, Los Angeles, CA 91331
Walthers Inc., 5601 Florist Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53281
  I don't know if these are manufacturers or distributors.
Some of the packages are marked Japan and some Tiwan.
  Small Parts Inc also has a selection of miniature
hardware. They have a web site but I don't have it
bookmarked on this computer.
