1/4-Inch Fluted Hardwood Dowel Pins, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Compliant, 72-Pack

1/4-Inch Fluted Hardwood Dowel Pins are ideal for creating strong and secure joints in furniture, cabinets, trim and special woodworking projects. These dowels are fluted with a series of parallel grooves cut along its length providing channels through which excess glue – that is used to secure the dowel pin in its hole – can escape as the dowel is inserted. This relieves the hydraulic pressure that might otherwise split timber when mating pieces are clamped together. The dowels are made of straight-grained solid hardwood which will expand when used with water-based glue for extra tight join. As an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), certified company, General’s Wood Joining Program includes wood based products that are manufactured in accordance with FSC standards. The FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests and is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world.
