Riven Hardwood Dowels with a Dowel Plate
A dowel split along the grain keeps every fibre running its full length, so it is stronger than one sawn across the grain. Split a straight log into sticks, dry them, rough them to eight sides and drive each through the holes of a steel dowel plate with a mallet: the sharp edge of each hole shaves the stick round.
Dry dowels matter: wood shrinks as it dries, and a dry dowel takes up moisture from the glue and swells tight.

Dry them
Dry them
Leave the sticks indoors, spaced apart, for several weeks. They are ready when the moisture meter reads 6–8 %, or a little drier than the wood they will go into.

Rough to eight sides
Rough to eight sides
Plane or pare each stick square, then take the corners off to eight sides, about 1 mm larger than the dowel. Chamfer one end to a blunt point.

Drive through the plate
Drive through the plate
Clamp the dowel plate in the vise over a gap so the dowel can drop through. Start the chamfered end in the hole one size larger than you want and drive it through with the mallet; then the final hole.
