The LumberYard for Model Shipwrights and other Hobbyists

Types of Wood

Rough Wood

Buying wood rough means you are getting material that is unsorted, unsurfaced and it may have defects such as cracks, knots or warp age. This material is direct from the source and will be in the form of logs, rough boards or slabs with the tree bark along the edges. If it's bulk wood your looking for, leave us a message on the answering machine or drop me a note. We will check what we have and get back to you on the size and cost. We can cut down large pieces to a more manageable size if needed.

Resawing

This service is offered to the model builder working with modeling tools such as a 4 inch table saw, small thickness sanders, scroll saws, lathes and drill presses. The material is cut in the form of billets, sheets, blocks or strips. Resawn material is cut for the most part free of defects but some small cracks or knots may show up. The surface of resawn material has the saw marks and it will have to be finish sanded.

Three basic thicknesses of resawn sheets are offered:

3/32 for finishing to 1/16 and thinner

3/16 for finishing from 3/32 to 1/8

5/16 for finishing from 3/16 to 1/4

Any thickness of sheet stock is cut on request.

For the model builder who prefers to do his own resawing and finishing, but does not want to work with large rough stock, small billets, boards and half logs are available. This material is cut as free from defects as material will allow.

Milled Stock

This material has been thickness sanded to exact size. Example: keel stock 1/4 x 3/16 x 24 or planking material 1/16 x 1/8. Milling is done in inches or millimeters. All milled stock is sold by the linear foot.

The following price chart shows the rates for milled wood per linear foot. All orders are cut to random lengths up to 24 inches. Longer lengths can be cut upon request.

Milled wood prices are per linear foot and "do not apply to boxwood, holly, swiss pear and exotics."

We have strived to produce accurate color and detail in the wood pictures, though the settings of various monitors/graphics cards can nullify our attempt. Also, nature does not necessarily produce wood that will match its description or color. For most accurate rendition, order the sample set above.
