Woodpeckers Unfinished Wooden Square Dowel Rods for Craft Projects Or DIY Fun (1/2" x 36") - 10

Poor

The dowels are sturdy and worked well for the project I needed them for (reinforcing a DIY shelf from underneath, so they aren't visible in the finished product). But about half of the rods arrived warped (2 of them weren't usable).If you need to make sure that your dowels are straight for your project, I'd recommend getting them in-person from a craft supplies store or hardware store to make sure that you're getting the quality you need.

These dowels are very well made, smooth wood. I will be ordering more, this time in the correct length. Meant to order 48" length, but space cadet here clicked on 36" instead.

I used these as a border around a wall panel I constructed. I added these to the sides using Elmer's wood glue. All the pieces were nice and straight and all the same length. There was only one piece that was slightly bent, however pressure and the glue the slight bend isn't noticeable. Nice strength but at the same time easy to cut too.

I have built 2 G scale bridges with the 1/2 inch x 36 inch square wood dowel. I cut the pieces, glue them in place, drill a pilot hole and put in decorative copper nails. Both bridges are doing well outside on my 30ft long by 20ft wide garden railroad layout.

I bought a very nice shelf/stand.... the only problem it had, was nothing on the back of each shelf to prevent smaller items from being pushed off. So I bought these. Cut two to length, sanded, stained and varnished them. Then used a little Loctite and some C clamps to hold them in place overnight. Morning arrives.... problem solved. These were exactly what I needed. Very happy. They even look like they are part of the original stand.
