Types of Wood Dowels & Pins

Straight-Grain vs. Spiral-Grooved Wood Dowels

Straight-grain dowels provide a smooth surface, great for structural stability and furniture making.

Spiral-grooved dowels feature channels for better glue distribution, ensuring stronger joints.

Hardwood dowels (maple, oak, birch) are both durable and strong. They’re ideal for furniture, construction, cabinetry, and more.
