Suggested Uses

These small oak plugs are indispensable for concealing fasteners or patching small holes in stair treads, balusters, cabinetry, or fine furniture. Woodworkers use them to hide joinery in intricate shelving, bench seats, and door frames, taking advantage of the visible grain for a nearly invisible finish after staining. For cabinetry or restoration, align the plug’s grain with your project for best results. A clever application: use in custom wood mosaic art panels where subtle contrast and depth are created with alternating plug direction and finish.
