I needed a five foot long station platform for the Spriteville station. I used two pieces of 5/8 inch basswood square stock for the base. I topped this with 1/8 inch by 4 inch basswood sheets, which I scribed to look like planks. Then I stained that with MinWax Mission Oak stain. I still have to put clear coat on it.
