Has anyone tried this? apparently it grows very slowly and has a very fine grain. I recently attended a presentation by David Hulse in Dartmouth. He has spent most of his life researching and building exceptional models of Atmospheric Steam engines, which he has donated to our local museum in Dartmouth. They are built to a scale of 1:12. He has used Japanese Oak for the wooden components and it looks very effective at this scale.

He was Chief Engineer at Royal Doulton and used his knowledge and expertise to develop a process (and build the machinery) for producing thousands of 1:12 scale bricks using 17th Century methods for his models.

Worth checking out his models at:
