Farbror Fartyg Posted July 4, 2014 #1 Posted July 4, 2014 Hey Does anyone have any experience working with Juniper wood? Today a Juniper that hasn't been feeling well for a number of years finally fell to my saw. Much of it is destined for the flames, but as I was cutting it up, I started having grand visions of masts rising proudly towards the sky ... If for nothing else, I'd like to use the wood for of its fantastic scent! If I can make a model that smells like that, I'll have ALL the ship modelling groupies ... Cheers and thanks in advance Sam Quote "If you scratch my back, I'll scratch build yours."
cwboland Posted July 4, 2014 #2 Posted July 4, 2014 If I remember correctly, Juniper has similar properties to pine and spruce, being a soft open-grained wood. That said, I wouldn't think that model ship building, or modelling in general, would have much use for a softwood like these, balsa being the exception of course.
