Can't expect a perfect grade for the price but it's a good for a small project builds as a beginner hobby and are easily available.

We used this unconventionally in a metal flagpole. The previous one snapped during a windy rainstorm, so we inserted this wooden dowel into the replacement flagpole to strengthen it . We chose this one because it's made of oak rather than some of the other dowels made with softer woods. So far, so good!

Although this is more of a “craft” item you’d expect to find in Michael’s, shockingly the latter only had 12” lengths for “kids projects.” In HD was a whole slew of sizes, lengths and cross sections. Yay HD! I bought them to hang some small fabric artworks.

Perfect for the project I was doing. This was already quite smooth, but I did a little extra sanding for safety. The wood took paint very well. It is only 1/2 inch, so it isn’t very sturdy under weight. I used this dowel to create a support bar to encourage my baby to stand.

pretty good for a rod - lol
i bought this for my new apartment - no closet in the bedroom. it was easy to stain, straight and sturdy. my only wish: still seeking end caps for the rod.

I waited 20mins at the power to have it cut. I had to call the main number for the store. Finally after three call attempts, someone answered. They said they would send help. No one came. Then a worker walking by saw me and offered to cut the dowel at the self station. He cut it crooked. I waisted almost an hour for this dowel.

Was a pain to get the sticker residue off and never fully came off. Ended up needing to waste 3-4” per dowel

Used this size rod for stacking bunk beds. Cut them at 3.75” each. Perfect fit. Oak is the better material.

It was round and true. Just what a good dowel should be

We needed to make a threaded plug and it had to be hard wood and this worked great. I’ll probably be buying more of these.

The dowel is very smooth hard oak, and it is nice and straight. I cut slots in both ends and used it in some parakeet cages so they can set at some higher places. The dowel is very hard and does not bend when a few of them want to set together.

I put it on my lathe and duplicated a chair rung (Pine) that broke. Oak will work better. Stained to match old chair.
