      Of the 4 woods you offer, red oak, Birch, pine and hardwood which are the hardest?

      Answer This Question

      Of the woods listed, Red Oak is the hardest. Birch is also a hardwood, but it is slightly less hard than Red Oak. Pine is a softwood and therefore significantly softer than both Red Oak and Birch.

          Its not HARDWOOD, its PINE!
          Home Depot should be ashamed, which they are not because they don't really care. They are straight lying to their customers. I ordered "Hardwood", which pine was an option to buy... but not the one I chose. These are not in any way shape or form, Hardwood. The dowels are in fact very nice and straight as every says, but they are pine. Which is a soft wood, not a hardwood as stated. If you are looking for real hardwood, don't buy these. I went to return them thinking that maybe they just grabbed the wrong ones. But no, they are all pine. I checked in the cubby which was marked "Hardwood" but alas, all pine. None of the cubbies marked in hardwood had any hardwood in them. Maybe your HD carries the correct stuff... but not here at 2055 N. Figueroa st, Los Angeles, CA 90065. Here you get PINE, PINE, PINE!!! Good luck in finding the hardwood everyone. I gave it a 2 stars rating because of the general lack of clarity in what they are. If you are in fact ok with the softwood PINE, then you are in luck. These will work for you. Otherwise, keep looking as you will not get hardwood from HD.

            These were the perfect size for my project. They were for Girl Scout friendship sticks. The sticks were cut up and then easy to paint because they were pre sanded. I have gone back and recently purchased more. I loved the variety of sizes allowing a stick to fit easily into a child or adults hand. A very kind employee cut the sticks for me as well. Highly recommend and I’m extremely satisfied! Thanks for the outstanding service.

            Works awesome to block our door thanks to the sliding dog insert we have. We’re unable to lock our door, but this gives me peace of mind that no one will be able to slide the door open.

            Fit perfect inside a 3/4 sch40 pvc pipe. Using to reinforce pvc as using for a bottle rack. Aka (towel rack) per say. Couldn't be more happy. Almost everything on my fabricated pressure washer/detailing cart has been purchased at Home Depot. Real friendly vet back in plumbing as well. Always super eager to help and knowledgeable. Guy deserves a raise. Thinking $2.00. Let's make it happen. ?

            I use these dowels to join 6x6s together, incorporating pocket holes. They work great and the size is pretty accurate. The poplar units are less expensive than the oak versions but you may give up some integrity in your build.

            Bad dowel
            I ordered this to be delivered. Apparently this is how Home Depot gets rid of bad wood, because there was a flat section going up most of the dowel.
