I rely on a set of trusted tools that help achieve professional-looking results in miniature woodworking:
- Sandpaper – to smooth edges and prepare surfaces.
- Transparent brown stain – to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain.
- Wood oil – to protect and enhance the finish.
- Jeweler’s saw – for delicate and precise cuts.
- Small table saw – to speed up straight cuts.
- 12V mini sander – for quick, clean smoothing.
