Wooden Dowels

Wooden Dowels

Wooden dowels are the unsung hero of many projects not only in the woodshop, they have uses in many other places as well. We have Made to Order dowels that will fit your needs and some you may not have thought of yet. Choose from Ash, Cherry, Hickory, Mahogany, Maple, Oak, Poplar and Walnut in diameters form ¼ in, to 2 in. and lengths from 36 in. to 96 in.

When you’re storing dowels, it’s important to do so in as stable an environment as possible. Recently, McFeely’s® made the decision to move away from storing dowels in our own warehouse and to use a top-notch U.S. manufacturer to ship these direct to you. Freight charges are as stated on our order form for all but the largest ones, which are marked with an asterisk and require truck freight. Allow 2 – 3 weeks for delivery. To ensure package integrity, dowels do have package minimums that we cannot waive or mix and match. McFeely’s dowels are manufactured using only high-grade Appalachian hardwoods and are dried for months in a yard and finished on a kiln to a target 8% moisture. Note: Because wood prices are so volatile, these prices cannot be guaranteed. Prices may change without notice. Dowels longer than 4' are custom made and not eligible for returns; please check your project specifications before ordering. Beech and Teak dowels are available. Call for pricing.

McFeely's Dowel Tech

Dowel Tech

Most woodworkers don’t give dowels much thought, until they go to use one and discover a) it isn’t straight, or b) it isn’t round. As hard as it may be to believe, dowels are machined and sanded round at the time of manufacture. A dowel’s cellular structure causes it to shrink and swell with changes in humidity, just like the lumber in a cabinet door. However, dowels are often required to fit into a hole, and that’s where the trouble begins. Since they are round, dowels have equal proportions of edge grain and face grain. Unfortunately, edge grain and face grain do not absorb moisture evenly, resulting in the oval dowels most of us have dealt with at one time or another.

Top Tips

  • Store dowels in as stable an environment as possible.
  • Use dowels as soon after purchase as practical.
  • Aliphatic resin (yellow glue) contains water and causes the dowels to swell − can work for or against you!
  • If the dowel is too small, check the dowel diameter and the hole diameter. Run-out in drill presses and drill bits can cause oversized holes!
