    @@JohnBuildsIt Dowels are perfectly fine just maybe a little more work but not that much. When I was hobby woodworking years back I ended up buying so many unnecessary expensive tools that I used only a few times or not at all. I had a mortising machine I paid nearly a thousand dollars for that I ended up selling to someone on Facebook for half that price. It was still brand new in the box. Whenever I needed to mortise something I just did it by hand and it was fine. And I enjoyed the process of doing it by hand too even if it took that much longer to do.

    It’s a hard wax oil finish so it’s easier to apply and touch up/refinish if needed.
