Hi Zoly,
I keep mine in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch diameter thin walled PVC pipe. Since I’m rather new at ship modeling my lumber collection is rather small. The pipes are banded together by rubber bands and stand in a 6 in diameter cardboard mailing tube. The pipe lengths are 24in.

On the Volume III "Fall" in 2005 of the publication "Warships to Workboats" on page 10 is a very clever idea of storing stripwood

3 x 300 x 100mm PVC pipes with end cap ( store all my left overs). Working stock kept in kit box.
Thank you guys for the input,the PVC pipe idea is very good,I need to find a way to organise the pipes maybe vertically for wood types and lengts,maybe Pauls idea that keeping working stocks in kit boxes.
The PVC pipe is the best idea but I don't have a lot of room for something like that so I just keep everything in an old kit box. I have separate boxes for planking, plywood, dowelling, etc. and everything sits on a shelf in the closet. Yes, the boxes wear out over time, but its a good excuse to buy more kits!
