Balsa Wood
Balsa Wood is the go-to choice for model building!
This lightweight yet sturdy wood is great for model airplanes, fishing lures, carving, musical instruments, and more. It is the lightest and softest of all commercial woods. Due to its fine grain, you'll find that it sands smoothly and takes paint well. Consider working with Balsa wood when your project requires a lightweight and easy to work with wood.
Choose from 4 different sizes of our Balsa wood:
- 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 35-1/2"
- 1-1/2" x 2" x 35-1/2"
- 2" x 2-3/8" x 35-1/2"
- 2" x 3-1/8" x 35-1/2"
Although these boards have been skipped dress to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling.
