Description: Architectural scale model lumber (1:12, or “One Inch Scale”) in Juniper wood, which is between Basswood and Balsa in hardness with nice pink and yellow varied coloring. Total of 134 pieces. All are eight to 8-1/2 inches long.(52) 2x4's(41) 2x6's (15) 4x4's (13) 2x8’s (13) 2x10’s This is exactly how many i can fit into a Small Flat Rate box, which insures that they get to you right away. The wall section in the picture is not included. The last three pictures are what you will get. If you need longer pieces, let me know and i'll list something appropriate. The juniper was left over from doing the trim for my studio, and rather than throw away such a nice wood, i turned it into model lumber. This is a bit of an experiment to see what kind of a market exists for model lumber; feel free to let me know what you are looking for. I put together a section of wall built exactly as a real wall to show that this is indeed scale lumber. Now let's talk about dimensions. Dimensional lumber you get at the store, such as a 2x4 is neither 2 inches thick nor 4 inches wide. Furthermore, the 'missing part' varies depending on the size: a 2x4 is 1-1/2" x 3-1/2", while a 2x8 is 1-1/2" x 7-1/4". Taking it down to 1:12 scale is not as easy at it seems; the dimensions of many suppliers are approximations, not accurate cuts. For example, on my fourth picture, look at the crack between the two boards above the window. That is exactly the 1/2" space between the headers you would get in real life. So here are both the real life dimensions and how they translate to model lumber to the nearest 64th: 2x4 is 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 19/64" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .292 2x6 is 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 29/64" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .458 2x8 is 1-1/2" x 7-1/4" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 39/64" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .604 2x10 is 1-1/2" x 9-1/4" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 49/64" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .771 2x12 is 1-1/2" x 11-1/4" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 15/16" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .938 4x4 is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" The model dimensions are 19/64" x 19/64" The decimal equivalent is .292 x .292 6x6 is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" The model dimensions are 29/6" x 29/64" The decimal equivalent is .458 x .458 Good hardwood flooring is 3/4" thick, in varying widths. The model dimension is 1/16" The decimal equivalent is .0625 5/4x6 Decking is generally an inch thick. Its model dimension is 5/64" x 29/64" The decimal equivalent is .0625 x .458 2x2 spindles are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 1/8" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .125 2x3 'scabbing' and 'blocking' boards are 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" The model dimensions are 1/8" x 13/64" The decimal equivalent is .125 x .208 These are carefully made on the tablesaw, not some fancy equipment, so you will get a bit of variation. How much? About exactly what you get if you are a builder and buying real lumber. That should help with the model realism. And of course I’ll help you out with any kinds of issues or questions.
