From log to finished dowel
Every dowel Brizelli ships passes through six tightly controlled stages in our own facility — no outsourced steps, no shortcuts.
-
Log intake & sawmill
Sustainably sourced logs arrive at our sawmill where they are inspected and bucked to length. Only straight, knot-free sections are selected for dowel production.
-
Plank cutting & drying
Selected logs are sawn into square-section blanks and stacked in our drying kilns. Controlled drying reduces moisture content to under 8%, preventing warping and shrinkage in the finished product.
-
Rod milling
Dried blanks are fed through our rod mills, which profile the wood into round-section rods at the required diameter. Continuous gauging ensures diameter tolerances of ±0.1 mm throughout each run.
-
Dowel cutting & chamfering
Rods are cross-cut to the specified lengths on our gang saws. Each end is then machine-chamfered so the dowel seats cleanly in a blind hole without splitting the surrounding material.
-
Tumbling & deburring
Cut dowels pass through a rotating drum tumbler that removes splinters, smooths the surface, and breaks any residual sharp edges — a step that makes downstream handling safe and consistent.
-
Hand selection & dispatch
Every batch is hand-examined before packing. Dowels with splits, discolouration, or out-of-tolerance dimensions are pulled from the run. Approved product is counted, bundled, and dispatched.
Products
Standard lengths ship from stock within 48 hours. Custom diameters and lengths are available on request with a typical lead time of five to ten working days.
| Species | Grade | Diameters | Lengths | Finish | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beech | Standard | 6 – 40 mm | 1 000 mm / custom | Sanded smooth | Our bestselling grade. Tight grain, pale colour, suited to cabinetry, toy-making, and general joinery. |
| Birch | Premium | 6 – 30 mm | 500, 1 000 mm / custom | Fine-sanded | Lighter weight than beech with a faintly silky surface. Popular for flat-pack furniture and Scandinavian-style pieces. |
| Oak | Select | 8 – 25 mm | 1 000 mm / custom | Smooth, open grain | Hard-wearing and naturally decorative. Used where the dowel will be visible — stair balustrades, coat racks, display fittings. |
| Pine | Economy | 6 – 50 mm | 1 000 mm / custom | Lightly sanded | Cost-effective softwood for applications where appearance is secondary — crating, formwork, and pallet assembly. |
All dowels are supplied in bundles of 100 unless otherwise agreed. Minimum order quantities apply for custom runs — contact us for details.
