If you love miniatures and dollhouse furniture, this tutorial will guide you through making a beautiful 1:12 scale wooden table. It’s a simple yet detailed project that brings realism to your dollhouse.
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.
To start, you can download a free PDF plan that includes the exact measurements. For the curved table legs, I used a jeweler’s saw, which provides great accuracy when cutting fine details.
The material I chose is cedar wood, as it is lightweight and easy to shape. After cutting all the pieces, make sure to sand the wood carefully. This step is crucial to achieve a smooth surface and professional results.
For finishing, I applied linseed oil to highlight the natural beauty of the wood and give it a subtle shine. The final result is a realistic miniature table that perfectly fits your dollhouse.
To help you follow along, I’ve also included a step-by-step video tutorial that demonstrates the entire process from start to finish.
