Thread: 5 x 10 or 6 x 12 (mm) pine strips

Your local big green box might have something similar in its moulding selection.

Otherwise, why don't you rip some 6mm strips from a 12mm thick plank, which nearly all hardware stores sell? If you don't have access to a planer and thicknesser you can still get a smooth finish with a circular saw if the blade is sharp, you use pressure fingers or similar to hold it rigidly to the fence and don't rush it!

Thank you,

I sell 20 x 6 mm DAR strips to Kayak builders for $1.54 per L/M. I also sell 50 x 8 or 6 or 4.5 mm strips to hollow surfboard builders. These can be modified to individual requirements or made specially (10 x 5 or 12 x 6) without much trouble. The price would be adjusted accordingly. They are not pine but Paulownia. See my web site paulownia-timber-sales.com.au or PM if your interested. Length of the strips and the packing are considerations but can be overcome.

I think shipping would be too expensive as a low quality wood is a requirement.

Thanks John
