Wood Beams and Planks (and a lot of coffee stir sticks!!)
Wood Beams and Planks (and a lot of coffee stir sticks!!)

Most of the larger beams are balsa wood. 

I bought some at a craft store, but I was also lucky enough to find some at the Dollar store! 

I did bought all the balsa available at the Dollar store, so I am sorry if you are the unlucky person would came afterwards 🙁

 

The planks on the walls and the floor are coffee stir sticks.

When bought in bulk, they cost about a penny per stick.

They look better than popsicle sticks. 

 

Some people use a metal wirebrush to texture wood, but I had limited success with that technique.

I use a somehow blunt eyebrow tweezer to indent the wood. (Maybe it came from the Dollar store or my girlfriend’s stash, I honestly can’t remember).

I also found the tip of a somehow blunt scissors was good for indent the wood.
