Choosing the Right Dowel Size for Your Project
Selecting the correct dowel diameter and length is crucial for joint strength and appearance. Smaller dowels suit delicate work and decorative applications, whilst larger dowels provide superior holding power in load-bearing joints. Consider the thickness of the materials being joined, the depth of hole you can drill, and whether the dowels will be visible in the finished piece. Our team can advise on specification and quantity to suit your needs. We recommend always drilling pilot holes slightly larger than your dowel diameter to allow for wood movement and ensure trouble-free assembly.
