• Is the dowel strong enough for miniature furniture?

  It’s excellent for indoor starter pots. For outdoor use, seal with weatherproof finish to prevent swell or rot.
• Are bulk and custom lengths available?
  Bulk packs are offered; custom lengths may be available by special request for large projects or business orders.
• Will the dowel splinter when drilled or screwed?
  When pre-drilled, poplar dowels rarely splinter and hold fasteners securely for modeling and crafts.
