Furniture wood dowel, also caps, or concealers, are small, typically cylindrical components used primarily to cover and fill pre-drilled holes on furniture surfaces.

Primary Purpose: To hide exposed holes for screws, bolts, connectors, or other functional hardware, maintaining a clean, aesthetic, and uniform appearance for the furniture.
Common Applications:
1. Panel Furniture: Used in assembling wardrobes, bookcases, TV stands, etc., to cover the holes for cam locks (e.g., in panel connector systems like cam dowels).
2. Hardware Installation: Concealing adjustment holes for hinges, mounting holes for shelf supports, or screw holes after handle installation.
3. Flaw Repair: Covering natural wood knots, cracks, or imperfections from machining errors.
4. Decorative Role: Sometimes used intentionally as a design element for visual accent.
