Model Making Materials

Mahogany strip for model making.

Medium to dark reddish-brown wood with fairly fine texture. Colour tone may vary piece-to-piece and from batch to batch so these images are just a representation of the product.* 

• Length: 915mm
• Dimensions: various (see drop down box).
• Smaller dimension items are available in packs of 10 (see below).
• ​The packs are more economical for purchasing in quantities.
• The grain can sometimes be wavy.
• Use Danish oil will bring out the beauty in the wood.
• Use a wood glue to adhere (remove any wood glue seeping out of the joints quickly with a damp cloth, since leaving it will change the colour of the wood).
• If you need to paint the mahogany, use a primer first.
• Plantation grown, FSC & PEFC certified.

If you wish to finish the mahogany with a gloss or satin varnish, we recommend using a sanding sealer first. This will minimise absorption of the varnish into the wood, thereby maximising the effect of the gloss or satin finish.

*Please call us if you have a particular need for tones to be similar, when ordering several pieces.
