Kakuri Small Wooden Tapered Nails - Traditional Japanese Joinery Fasteners

Wooden tapered nails have been a staple of Japanese woodworking for generations. They offer a beautiful, durable alternative to metal fasteners, ideal for projects such as casework, boxes, drawers, chairs, and other fine joinery. These traditional fasteners create beautiful, strong, long-lasting joints while adding a touch of classic craftsmanship to your work.

Unlike ordinary round dowels, Kakuri tapered nails are wedge-shaped. This unique tapered design allows them to lock firmly in place, creating a mechanical bond that can be as strong as metal nails. When used with a slightly undersized tapered drill bit, the nail fits tightly into the hole, delivering exceptional holding power.

How to Use

• Drill a tapered pilot hole using the appropriate bit.
• Apply a small amount of glue to the nail.
• Drive the nail into place.

The tapered shape naturally guides the nail, reducing gaps and preventing excess glue from spilling onto the work surface. The result is a clean, professional-quality joint with impressive strength.
