We recently manufactured 50mm timber dowel in American Oak for a stairbuilder in Melbourne. They told me that it was for timber screening on the side of a staircase, but was not sure exactly what they meant. Now I know ...

When they ordered it, they needed the dowel supplied in increments of 100mm, and now I can understand why.

It is secured to the treads as well as steel beam; both of which gives it the stability it needs.

You can buy the 50mm dowel in American Oak from our online shop.
