dowelling
Cylindrical joinery sticks
Dowelling is the use of dowels—small cylindrical wooden pegs—to join pieces of wood together.
Holes are drilled in both pieces, and the dowel is glued into place, creating a strong joint without visible fasteners.
The term also refers to dowels collectively as material: I need to pick up some dowelling from the hardware store.
