Description
J Perkins 1/2 x 1/2 x 36 Strip Obechi, part number 5520459, is an Obeche timber strip for model building, prototypes and other craft projects. It is supplied in a 36-inch length, measuring 914mm, with a square 1/2-inch profile in both height and width. The pale brown timber surface has a fine, consistent grain and can be cut, planed and sanded to create crisp edges and detailed shapes.
Obeche combines a low-density construction with the added durability associated with hardwood, helping it provide structural stability without adding significant mass to a model or prototype. Its smooth, relatively splinter-free texture is suited to frameworks, window mullions, long-run interior skirting and other projects where a more uniform finish than balsa is required. The neutral surface accepts paint and stain, allowing the strip to be finished or customised for different designs.
