I needed these for some cabinets I was building out of birch ply. They really match pretty well except with really dark patches on the birch. You do have to shorten them to fit into the hole depending on your screw depth. I have a large bench sander and I just put the end that goes towards the screw up against the spinning sanding disk and ground off what was needed. And you only need a small dab of wood glue in the hole. If you use to much you will make a big mess.
