Stool Dowel Edging Tutorial382

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will guide you through the intricate process of adding a stylish and durable dowel edge to your stool. This technique, often used in traditional Chinese furniture making, will elevate the aesthetics and enhance the longevity of your piece. Our factory specializes in producing high-quality furniture edging strips, and we are eager to share our expertise with you.

Materials Required:* Stool frame
* Wooden dowel (diameter matching the thickness of the stool frame)
* Wood glue
* Sandpaper
* Clamps
* Flush trim saw or handheld saw
* Sanding block or orbital sander

Step 1: Prepare the Stool Frame and Dowel
Ensure that the stool frame is flat and free of any unevenness. If necessary, sand the edges to create a smooth surface for the dowel.
Measure and cut the wooden dowel to the desired length, which should be slightly longer than the perimeter of the stool frame.

Step 2: Apply Wood Glue
Liberally apply wood glue to the top edge of the stool frame, where the dowel will be placed.
Apply a thin layer of glue to the bottom edge of the dowel as well.

Step 3: Position and Clamp the Dowel
Carefully place the dowel onto the stool frame, ensuring that it is aligned with the edge.
Use clamps to secure the dowel firmly in place. Position the clamps along the length of the stool frame, creating even pressure.
Allow the glue to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4: Trim the Dowel Flush
Once the glue has completely dried, use a flush trim saw or handheld saw to trim the excess dowel flush with the edge of the stool frame.
Sand the trimmed edge to remove any splinters or roughness, creating a smooth and seamless transition.

Step 5: Sand and Finish the Stool
Sand the entire stool using a sanding block or orbital sander, starting with a coarse grit (e.g., 120-grit) and gradually moving to a finer grit (e.g., 220-grit). This will help to remove any imperfections and create a smooth surface.
Apply a stain, paint, or clear finish to the stool as desired. This will protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
