      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.

          Can I use this for a closet rod to support baby clothes that would weigh at maximum 8 lbs?

          Answer This Question

          Yes. (This product is 36" long). Store the heavier items near the ends. Position the rod so the "grain line" is in a vertical orientation. Excess weight near the center, will cause the dower rod to sag, over time). SUGGEST use a 1-1/2" dowel).

            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.

              Perfect size for my project.
              I needed 56 of these dowels to complete duplicating the design on a 58-year-old dresser mirror. I ordered them online and received the multi-piece discount and had it shipped to the store.

                Serious Color Variation....
                These are very sturdy dowels. However upon staining they are extremely different colors. I understand wood can vary based on grain, type, etc. but there is a wild color difference that I have not encountered in any other type of staining project I have done. Very disappointed as only option through customer service is to take them back and order new (from online only). I'm concerned that the same issue is going to arise unless I get lucky and receive a batch that is more similar.
