Balsa Wood

Balsa Wood is a unique quality wood that is used in almost all model hobbies. Examples include remote controlled airplanes, boats, arts and crafts, model railroads, miniature, fishing lures, architectural modeling, wood carving and many others.

Balsa wood is so soft enough to cut with a hobby knife, or small saws, yet durable enough to last a life time. It also is extremely easy to sand, making it the easiest wood to work with.

Our balsa wood has been specially kiln dried to reduce water content, a process witch makes balsa wood very light, yet strong enough, giving it one of the highest strength to weight ratios, of any wood.

Balsa Wood inc imports its balsa directly from Ecuador – home to the best balsa wood in the world. Our balsa wood goes through a careful selection process before it is cut into sheets and sticks, and other shapes.

We can hand select balsa wood to suit your needs. Balsa wood sheets are available in Soft, Medium, and Hard. Hand selection is not the same as weighing the wood to determine its weight. Please include your specifications in your order details. 30% will be added to the base price of your order.
