About these wooden nails

Kakuri Wooden Nails Small (300 pcs) bring the philosophy of traditional Japanese joinery into modern woodworking. Designed to replace metal fasteners, these hardwood dowels allow you to construct strong, elegant joints using only wood. The result is a cleaner aesthetic and a structure that relies on time-tested mechanical principles rather than screws or nails.

Each dowel is crafted in Japan from dimensionally stable hardwood and milled to precise tolerances. Their uniform roundness ensures predictable results across multiple joints, making them suitable for both restoration work and new builds where consistency and refinement matter.

Performance & use cases

These wooden nails perform through a combination of precise fit and material behavior. Once installed, the wood naturally responds to environmental humidity, expanding slightly within the joint and increasing holding strength over time. This characteristic has been relied upon for centuries in Japanese furniture and architectural construction.

They are especially effective in furniture making, cabinetry, panel work, and fine joinery where visible metal would interrupt the design. Many woodworkers pair them with accurate hand-sawn joints to achieve clean, discreet connections. The nails accept wood glue well, allowing you to further reinforce joints when required.

Well suited to workshops across the UAE, these dowels support projects where longevity, subtlety, and traditional craftsmanship are priorities.

How to use (quick guide)

• Drill or prepare a hole sized precisely to the dowel
• Apply wood glue if additional reinforcement is desired
• Insert the wooden nail firmly into the joint
• Trim flush once set, if required
• Allow the joint to acclimate and lock naturally over time
• Sand or finish as part of the final surface preparation
