(44) Scale Model Lumber 2x6’s (1:12, or “One Inch Scale”) in a variety of pleasing softwoods. Total of 44 pieces, all over 13 inches long. The wood species range from Cedar to Pennsylvania White Pine; including Cypress, Fir, and a number of reclaimed selections.

The sample pictures of models show how well these can be used for a variety of projects.

A 2x6 you get at the store is neither 2 inches thick nor 6 inches wide; it is 1-1/2” x 5-1/2”. These boards are 1/12th of what you would buy at the lumber store, not approximations or rounding off. This makes for very realistic models; you can get as accurate as you wish with your measurements.

If you have an architectural scale (recommended), you would use the "One Inch Scale" side. This simply means that one inch of your model equals one foot in full size.

Note that from here down, beams have a quarter inch more than stud dimensions. A 4x8 is 7-1/4” on the wide side, and a 6x8 is 7-1/2” on the wide side.

6x8 is 5-1/2" x 7-1/2"
The model dimensions are 29/64" x 5/8"
The decimal equivalent is .458 x .625

6x10 is 5-1/2" x 9-1/2"
The model dimensions are 29/64" x 51/64"
The decimal equivalent is .458 x .792

6x12 is 5-1/2" x 11-1/2"
The model dimensions are 29/64" x 61/64"
The decimal equivalent is .458 x .958

8x8 is 7-1/2" x 7-1/2"
The model dimensions are 5/8" x 5/8"
The decimal equivalent is .625 x .625

8x10 is 7-1/2" x 9-1/2"
The model dimensions are 5/8" x 51/64"
The decimal equivalent is .625 x .792

8x12 is 7-1/2" x 11-1/2"
The model dimensions are 5/8" x 61/64"
The decimal equivalent is .625 x .958

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 .083 x .458

These are carefully made on the tablesaw, not some fancy equipment, so you will get a bit of variation. How much? About the same as if you are a builder and buying real lumber. It makes for good model realism.
