Etymology

The term 'dowel' has its roots in the Middle English word 'duel,' which referred to a small cylindrical rod. This word is derived from the Old French 'douelle,' meaning a small block or plug. The use of dowels dates back to ancient woodworking practices where they were employed to create more durable joints than nails or screws provided. As woodworking techniques evolved, dowelling became a standard method for creating sturdy and aesthetically pleasing constructions. The adaptation and refinement of doweling tools and techniques played a crucial role in furniture making and architecture, particularly during the Renaissance period. Today, dowelling remains a fundamental aspect of both traditional and modern woodworking.
