Where to Find Scale Lumber for Miniature Projects

Thursday July 9, 2009

There's a wide range of fine scale timber and sheet wood suitable for miniature building projects, dollhouse furniture, model boats, and other miniature uses. Specialist scale lumber yards sell everything from tiny pieces of cherry wood ship grating to miniature furniture made from original wood from the H.M.S Victory or the Brighton Pier. A model builder shouldn't have to resort to 101 ways to stain basswood to look like exotic flooring. Find a specialist supplier and your imagination can take wing!

Wood is available in everything from raw blocks through to laser cut gingerbread detailing. Which wood is your favorite for miniatures? Where do you find it?
