Wooden Dowels & Biscuits

Create strong joints with wooden dowels and biscuits. Dowels and jointer biscuits have been trusted by carpenters, woodworkers, and joiners for generations and are practical, dependable tools. Once fitted, they offer much greater strength than nails and create seamless joints.

What Are Biscuits & Dowels Used For?

The main purpose of biscuits and dowels is to join two pieces of wood together. They are commonly used in carpentry, joinery, furniture assembly, woodworking, and construction. If you’ve ever assembled flat-pack furniture, you’ve likely encountered jointers, dowels, or biscuits. Dowels are small rods inserted into pre-drilled holes, while wood biscuits are oval-shaped pieces that fit into specially cut grooves. Both dowels and biscuits can be used with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite boards.
