Furniture Fasteners

Wood Dowels

Wooden dowels are cylindrical hardwood fasteners that provide shear strength and structural alignment in tight-tolerance joinery. Their mechanical performance is governed by embedment strength, wood density, and adhesive bonding, often featuring fluted surfaces to manage hydrostatic pressure from glue during insertion. They are utilized in furniture manufacturing and structural reinforcements to create hidden, high-shear connections that resist torsional loads without metallic components.
