Excel Dowel 3/8 x 36 dowel rod is a hardwood dowel designed for woodworking, so it suits cabinet builds, furniture runs, jigs, and shop fixtures that rely on consistent round stock. The 3/8 inch diameter provides a familiar size for edge alignment, light joinery, or layout reference where a medium dowel is preferred. The 36 inch length gives enough run to cut multiple short dowels or longer pieces from one stick, helping keep parts consistent across a job. The hardwood construction gives the rod a solid feel when machined, drilled, or trimmed, supporting crisp shoulders and cleaner cuts. The rod can be painted, lacquered, or varnished, so it can blend into finished work or stay visible as a design element without changing base material. As part of the Excel Dowel line, this rod fits into shops that standardize on dowel-based fasteners.
This hardwood 3/8 inch dowel rod works with standard 3/8 inch drilling to create alignment or light fastening points, so boring operations sync directly with the rod size. At 36 inches long, the rod can be crosscut to match specific cabinet or furniture layouts, giving control over tenon length or pin projection without changing the base stock. The ability to accept paint, lacquer, or varnish supports finishing after installation, so visible ends or exposed runs can be treated once the rod is set into the workpiece. With its place in the dowel rods and pins class, this piece functions as shaped wood stock in assemblies where round profiles are required instead of flat strips.
This hardwood dowel rod sits in the fasteners category under dowels and biscuits, so it serves as a wooden fastener or locator in assembled parts. The 3/8 inch diameter is suitable wherever a medium round joint or registration point is needed, such as cabinet carcase pins or simple knock-in details. At 36 inches long, the rod can span wider panels when used as a continuous internal spline, or be broken down into repeatable short pins for rails and stretchers. The hardwood construction responds well to machining, so mortises, holes, and shoulders can be sized around the rod for predictable engagement. Because it belongs to a line with 13 available diameters and three overall lengths, this specific 3/8 x 36 option can be chosen alongside larger or smaller rods on the same project when stepped strength or appearance changes are required between joints.
The hardwood material in this Excel Dowel rod provides a consistent density along its length, which helps drilling patterns and press fits behave the same from one cut piece to the next. The 3/8 inch diameter aligns with a single drill size, simplifying layout and jigs because boring templates can stay tied to that dimension. The 36 inch length lets an installer or fabricator cut multiple identical dowels from the same stick, improving alignment between components that share hole spacing. The fact that the rod can be painted, lacquered, or varnished means finishing steps can be sequenced around assembly, so dowel visibility or concealment is controlled by choice of coating rather than by swapping materials. As a defined part number, DR-3836-P gives shops a repeatable reference when reordering the same hardwood 3/8 x 36 format across different jobs.
The Excel Dowel DR-3836-P rod is 3/8 inch in diameter and 36 inches long, which suits many cabinet, furniture, and jig layouts needing a medium-length hardwood dowel.
This 3/8 x 36 dowel rod is made of hardwood, giving it a solid feel under drilling and cutting and supporting predictable performance in woodworking applications.
This hardwood dowel rod can be painted, lacquered, or varnished, so its appearance can be adjusted to match surrounding components or stand out as a design feature.
The 36 inch length provides enough stock to cut several matching dowels from one rod, aiding consistency when multiple joints share the same depth or spacing.
This rod is part of a line offering 13 diameters and three lengths, so it fits within a broader system of Excel Dowel hardwood dowel sizes for varied joints.
This product is classified under fasteners as a dowel rod and pin, so it functions as round wood stock for alignment and light fastening in woodworking assemblies.
The Excel Dowel 3/8 x 36 dowel rod combines a hardwood body, a 3/8 inch diameter, and a 36 inch length, giving you defined stock for cabinet, furniture, or jig work that depends on round wooden fasteners.
