Where to find thin hardwood sheet


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am looking for thin hardwood (not balsa) sheets in 2 mm or 3mm thickness and 5 cm width. I need them to make miniature furniture for dollhouse. I have been trying several lumber yard/wood shop (Thaweepan, Suksawad, Woodworld among other), but none of them have them. The thinest that they have is only 5 mm.

Is anyone here know where to get them?

Thanks.

How many pieces do you need and which length?

I might be able to make them for you with my planer.

I only need max 8 pieces 1 meter length. What I want is a (not so) thick wood resaw into thin sheets so I can have almost identical grain patern on each of them. I guess the better way to do it with a saw band or table saw then plan to smooth.

All those lumber yards mentioned cut wood to the customer's specified sizes. Did you ask them to cut you what you want?

I did ask them. But none of them willing to resaw the wood into thin sheet.

Have you tried electrical supply shops?

Thin pieces of wood are used by electricians as mounting points on walls for consumer boxes and the like.

The ones I have seen are about 12in square but don't know if they would be thin enough for you.
