Wooden Dowel Thin 12" x 2.5mm — 70-Pack for Precise, Strong Joints

This 70-piece set of wooden dowels is designed for dependable, clean joinery in furniture, cabinetry, and craft projects. At 12 inches long with a slim 2.5 mm diameter, these dowels strike the perfect balance between strength and concealment, making them ideal for hidden connections, edge-to-edge alignments, and quick repairs where a traditional screw isn’t the best option.

Why this thin wooden dowel stands out

• Consistent, precise diameter: each dowel is milled to a uniform 2.5 mm for repeatable, tight-fitting joints that glue up cleanly.
• Ideal length for versatile joinery: 12 inches long provides flexibility for deeper connections or trimming to fit multiple applications in one project.
• Smooth, ready-to-glue surface: sanded and ready for adhesive, reducing mitre gaps and ensuring a seamless finish when stained or painted.
• High-value pack: 70 pieces per pack means you’ll have spare dowels on hand for ongoing projects, classroom use, or workshop stock without constant reordering.
• Natural wood aesthetics: blends with a wide range of woods and finishes, helping joints disappear into the overall design.

How to use

• Mark and drill: use a drill bit that matches the 2.5 mm diameter to create clean, straight holes aligned with your project’s joints.
• Apply glue and assemble: dab a small amount of wood glue on the dowel and insert fully into the hole for a strong bond.
• Finish and trim: if needed, trim protruding dowels with a fine saw or utility blade and smooth edges with sandpaper for a flush fit.
• Let cure: allow the glue to set according to the adhesive’s instructions before handling the piece.

Who is this for?

Perfect for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, furniture restorers, and school shop projects. It’s especially useful when you need discreet joinery, quick repairs, or edge-to-edge alignment without visible fasteners.

Practical tips and considerations

• Pair with complementary drill guides or jigs to ensure perfectly aligned holes every time.
• Choose an adhesive compatible with wood for the strongest, long-lasting join; consider color-matched stains if the project requires a seamless look.
• Store in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption and maintain consistent diameter over time.
