### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far better than big box store dowels
*by M***B on November 15, 2023*

I needed a large number of 5/16" diameter dowels for a unique project, as inserts into the slots of a large piece of extruded aluminum furniture I was building. The dowels were going to be painted black and then gold wax used to give them a brass metal look which required the dowels to be relatively grain free, without defect, and exactly 5/16". I originally went with a large purchase of dowels from Home Depot because they were very cheap, less than $1 per 4 feet, but the size and quality of these dowels was all over the place. About a quarter arrived broken or chipped or with voids or knots and another quarter were either larger or smaller than 5/16". I returned them and after reading the reviews of these, purchased a box of 100 4' segments. I am glad I did. I'll say first that of the 100, about 10 were bent enough that they would not lay flat on a surface. That did not make a difference to me as my dowels were being inserted into metal channels which straightened them out and frankly, 1/10th being bent is still a far better success rate than HD/Lowes/etc. All of the dowels were free of defect, well sanded and ready to use immediately. I did no prep at all on them except spray primer and they took paint and wax very well. If you plan to paint these but want a smooth surface, you will likely need to use fine grit sandpaper to knock the grain down after painting. That would be the case of nearly any raw hard wood though and I found a few passes of 400 grit did the trick in no time. If you need to cut these, I would highly recommend a thin kerf pull cut dowel/dovetail saw. Any small cheap one will do but you definitely want a pull blade, a push blade will cause splinters. Yes these are soft enough you can cut them with tin snips or even the mini saw blade on a multi-tool, but the end will be slightly deformed. If you have any furniture or arts and crafts that requires good looking dowels, these are the ones you want to get. Don't even consider the big box store.
