Our Model Stage Coach Wheels are designed to bring your creative projects to life. Made from solid softwood pine, these wheels are not only cost-effective but also easy to customize with paint or stain to match your unique designs. Each wheel is cut with precision and lightly sanded to prepare for any finish you choose. The simple yet functional design features a smooth, flat profile with edges that are only lightly sanded, maintaining a rustic yet clean look. For those requiring a different edge style, such as a round-over, custom modifications can be arranged to meet your specific needs.

Positives:

• Workability: Pine is soft, making it easy to work with, whether cutting, drilling, or finishing, which is ideal for detailed model work.
• Aesthetics: The natural grain of pine adds a touch of authenticity and rustic charm to any model or toy, enhancing its overall appearance.
• Cost-Effective: As a more affordable wood option, pine allows for the production of high-quality model components without a significant financial investment.

Negatives:

• Durability: Being a softer wood, pine may not withstand excessive wear or outdoor elements as well as harder woods, making it less suitable for functional toys meant for heavy use.
• Finishing: Pine’s porous surface can absorb stains and paints unevenly if not properly prepared, which might require additional steps in the finishing process.
• Susceptibility to Damage: Due to its softer nature, pine is more prone to dents and scratches, which could affect the aesthetic quality of the wheel over time.
