Welcome to WoodsWorks
Woodsworks manufactures and sells custom machined stripwood and other scale wood products for the model craftsperson, including model railways, boats and radio control aircraft.
Strip wood manufactured to order
The stripwood is particularly popular with R/C aircraft builders because it can be made in lengths up to 3.6 metres. As often happens with hobbies, things have grown over time, particularly with the purchase of other manufacturers’ lines of detail parts for 1:64 and 1:34 scales and the agencies for C+L Finescale’s and Micro Engineering’s rail, flextrak, turnouts, bridge kits, solder, soldering fluxes and more.
Woodsworks is run by Paul and Claire Woods, a husband and wife team located in Whangarei, New Zealand. Paul’s engineering and draughting background combined with a keen interest in model railways and a love of working with timber and machinery has gradually evolved into a commercial enterprise. Claire’s business administration experience keeps Paul organised and the business running smoothly. This company was born out of Paul’s frustration of modeling in an unusual scale and not being able to get the materials necessary to do a professional job for a reasonable price so he made it himself.
