smaller scale bead board siding/flooring

[cloudbound]

I've been looking for the smaller scale wood siding and flooring - in particular the sheets of wood that usually come in 3" X 24" sheets.  I would like it to be grooved and all that I can find in the 1/16" grooves is only sold if you buy 10 sheets of it.  That's like $25 - $30 plus shipping.  I only need a couple of sheets though.  Any suggestions?  It looks a little like 'bead and board' but I think its generally just grooved wood with either 32 or 16 grooves per inch.  Fat chance finding it, enh?

I would try Manchester Woodworks. They have 1/16 clapboard siding for $3.68 for a 3 x 24" piece.  Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. (Difficult to tell on my phone.) If not, I still think they might be worth checking.

I just bought this stuff and it is a really nice quality and to me a good price. I have mixed results as to their service though, so hopefully you'll have a good one!

Darn it! I had about 4 sheets of it and figured I'd never use it so I've been using it for the frames to my mini suitcases. Sorry. 

Edit, mine isn't that small.

 How funny Sable.  I actually had a large sheet of this, as well as another sheet of fun super-small-scale wood and I too thought I'd never have a use for it.  So I was using it for all sorts of silly things.  Now it is IMPOSSIBLE to find.  I was just wondering if I could find some sort of paper product that could replicate those teeny weeny grooves because I paint over it anyway.  So it doesn't really need to be wood I guess.  I'll have to check out the scrapbook section at the  hobby store.  THIS is how we learn that our dollhouse supplies need to be saved!

Train shops have it in plastic for the small scale train buildings.

Maybe Micromark:

Thanks again Sable.  YUP -  it looks like that tiny HO-scale 'corrugated' plastic sheet might be good.

is this better?

I think I'd be tempted to cut pieces of basswood and scribe them.  I cut down iron-on wood veneer for the bedroom floor in my hacienda:

I have purchased from here. They make and sell lots of different scribed boards.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.  Northeastern Scale Lumbers looks to be a likely place and I'm going to ask them about their wood 'corrugated siding' because that might just be the ticket.  They have it in 1/8", 3/32" 1/16" and something that says its .04 but I don't know what .04 means so I'll ask them.  Wouldn't that be fun if its the same as the tiny piece I have left here?  I'll let you know.  But today is  'Tie Dye Day' at my daughter's school and I happen to be the one in charge so I'm going to be up to my elbows in Kindergarteners all day.

Northeastern is terrific.  I ordered LOTS of wood and can't wait to see it all.  Cherry strips, mahogany strips - what fun.  Thanks again for all your help.
