Rough Sawn Cedar & Redwood Plugs
Unlike other plugs which are completely tapered, our plug is slightly tapered 5 degrees. Cut from Western White Pine our 3/4″ thick plugs are slightly oversized on the top making for a tight fit. All are made from kiln dried lumber and are produced on specially designed equipment, resulting in quality, uniformly-sized plugs. Our plugs feature a unique advantage. They are manufactured by cutting from both sides at once, thus eliminating all splintered face edges that require time-consuming patching methods. These plugs are pre-counted and packaged in net bags, eliminating extra handling in further distribution and inventory control. Also available in redwood and rough sawn cedar.
