Scribed Wood
Posted by van buren s l on Wednesday, December 8, 2004 12:24 PM
Hello out there:
I am thinking of building a 1/29 model of a narrow gauge combine that was motorized and later changed to standard gauge. One very conspicuous feature of this car is the tongue and groove sheathing. It seems to me that scribing spaced 3/32 's of an inch apart would suitably represent the sheathing. Does anyone know of a source of wood that is scribed to 3/32's?

I live in Rockville, Maryland and would be willing to drive a fair distance to buy the wood or order it by phone. The car would be about twenty inches long and about three and five eighths inches high. Scribing the wood myself would make me a likely candidate for a nervous breakdown.

Thanks in advance

Bob
