Cross grain wood pellets are timber pellets that are tapered in shape and used in many forms of joinery. Also known as tapered wood pellets, wooden plugs or cross grain plugs, the pellets' primary purpose is for the surface concealment of screw and bolt heads.
So, how do the cross grain wood pellets actually work? The cross grain pellet is inserted into the hole where the screw is located, leaving a small amount remaining above the surface. Using a flush cut saw, the pellet is then trimmed and sanded, blending into the surface for a smooth all timber finish. As these are timber products, they can then be finished in exactly the same manner as the rest of the wood, allowing it to blend in.
At Jackson Woodturners, we supply a great range of cross grain wood pellets, available in Pine, Oak, Ash, Hemlock, Dark Hardwood and Walnut. All available as single pieces, or the more cost effective larger multiple packs.
