Excel Dowel & Wood Products, LLC supplies an extensive selection of wood dowel rods manufactured to meet consistent performance and dimensional standards. These components serve a wide variety of industries, including furniture production, cabinetry, millwork, and even DIY craft and hobby projects. Whether required for structural support, alignment, or assembly, these rods offer dependable strength, a clean finish, and compatibility with multiple wood species.
Available Sizes and Wood Species
Customers can select from a broad range of wood dowel rod diameters, starting at 1/8″ and extending up to 2″, with available lengths from 1″ all the way up to 12 feet. Excel Dowel offers rods produced from durable and popular species such as birch, oak, maple, poplar, hickory, cherry, walnut, mahogany and other assorted domestic hardwoods. Each rod is sanded smooth and ready for immediate use or finishing, making them suitable for both visible and concealed applications.
Standard production tolerances are followed to guarantee consistency from piece to piece, which is critical in precision joinery or high-volume assembly operations. Multiple sanding and finishing options are also available.
Custom Production Capabilities
Excel Dowel supports made-to-order options for clients who need a specific wood dowel rod diameter, length, or extra operation. Capabilities include custom chamfering, slotting, rounding and drilling. These options are available for both small-quantity specialty runs and larger volume orders, with short lead times and reliable supply continuity.
Wooden Dowel Rod End Caps
To complete a dowel assembly or improve its appearance and safety, wooden dowel rod end caps are available. These caps are ideal for flags, banners, toy components, and other projects where exposed dowel ends need to be covered or used for hanging. They help prevent splintering, reduce wear, and provide a more refined presentation for finished products. Excel Dowel can match end cap sizes to their dowel rod inventory and assist in pairing these accessories with the correct components.
