Work perfectly for intended purposes

Perfect! All exactly the correct size. No rough edges or splintery sides.

Useful but not as straight as hope for.

I sure do wish I could have bought a smaller package. I'll never be able to use 25 of them! However I am trying to come up with ideas and I think I have a few.

While these are technically made of solid bamboo, each dowel contains as least two joined pieces. At first glance the dowels appear to be a single slab, but when more than two pieces are within a single dowel, the variation in grain is more apparent. I did not stress test these to see if the factory joints fail. I was hoping to use these for an experimental instrument repair, but decided against it for two reasons: glued joints within a single dowl (not solid), and slow delivery (plain maple dowels arrived first). Over all the product seems nice, and will probably be great for furniture repair. If you try to cut these dowels to length, they do tend to splinter due to random grain direction. You must use a fine tooth saw; my flexible flush cut saw worked with minimal splintering.

Just what I needed work great

They are round and straight
