3/8" x 1-1/4" Fluted Dowel Pins — Birch Hardwood Joiners for Reliable Medium-Depth Wood Connections
The 3/8-inch diameter by 1-1/4-inch fluted dowel pin is crafted from unfinished birch wood, offering strong, concealed joinery for cabinetry, panel frames, shelving, and repair projects that call for a slightly deeper bite than short dowels. Straight multi-groove flutes allow for even glue distribution and air escape, supporting durable, gap-free wood bonds. Both ends are chamfered for easy hand or tool-assisted insertion, with a tumble-sanded surface that eliminates splinters and reduces prep work so you can focus on the build.

These 3/8" x 1-1/4" fluted dowels are ideal for secure assembly of wood casework, decently thick face frames, shelving, and repairs requiring a bit more joint depth than a 1" dowel provides. Woodworkers, educators, and kit builders use them in cabinet rails, sturdy drawer assembly, panel joints, template registration, or when reinforcing mid-size joinery. For a clever classroom or DIY twist, use them as pegs, axles, or hidden pivots in STEM projects or functional crafts, leveraging their precise dimensions and strong birch makeup.

Available in both small and high-count cartons or bags for easy shop management and bulk dispensing.
