Thanks Keith, The Smallest wood I could get at Northeastern Scale Lumber. (O Scale 1” x 2”) Laid flat for the trim and on its side for the sash. That and a steady hand. 😜 TEDIOUS! The trick is getting them all the same size. LOL 😂 John gsdpic and Keith Black 2 Gallery Photos of My Charles W Morgan Currently working on New Bedford Whale Boat

If not they're well worth investing in. Hey. Midwest Products sells some pretty small wood and they're a good company IMHO. https://midwest-products.myshopify.com/collections/basswood John Ruy 1 Current Builds: Sternwheeler from the Susquehanna River's Hard Coal Navy Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

If you click on those products listed they are “temporarily out of stock” and have been for some time. Northeastern Scale Lumber is here in MA And is a good company as well.
