Full details
The Oakcrafts Shaker Peg is designed for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners seeking a functional, minimalist solution for furniture assembly or wall-mounted storage. This 3.5-inch wooden peg offers a classic aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors, providing a reliable way to hang coats, hats, or towels. While it is highly durable and versatile, users should note that as a raw or finished-ready wooden fitting, it requires secondary finishing like sanding or painting to achieve a perfect match with existing furniture projects.

FAQs
Can these pegs be used outdoors?
They are designed for interior use. If used outdoors, they must be treated with an exterior-grade wood preservative or marine varnish to prevent rot.
What type of wood is used?
The pegs are manufactured from high-quality durable timber suitable for furniture making and joinery.
Is the mounting hardware included?
No, these are standard furniture-grade pegs intended for glue-in joinery; screws or wall anchors are not included.
Can I trim the length of the peg?
Yes, the wood can be easily trimmed with a hand saw or miter saw if you require a shorter reach.
How much weight can one peg hold?
When properly glued into a hardwood base, a single peg can support typical items like heavy coats or bags, provided the mounting surface itself is structurally sound.
Troubleshooting
The peg feels loose in the hole.
Wrap a small piece of veneer or wood shim around the shank before gluing, or use a wood-filler putty to secure the fit.
The wood finish looks patchy.
Sand the peg lightly with 220-grit sandpaper before applying a wood conditioner to ensure even absorption of your chosen stain or finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Oakcrafts Shaker Peg, drill a pilot hole into your substrate that corresponds with the base diameter of the peg's shank. Apply a high-quality wood adhesive to the shank before pressing it into the hole, ensuring the shoulder sits flush against the mounting surface. If you intend to use the pegs in a damp environment like a bathroom, it is highly recommended to coat the entire peg—including the insertion point—with a water-resistant finish such as polyurethane or spar varnish. For regular cleaning, a simple wipe-down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth is sufficient to maintain the wood surface.
