Balsa Sheets

Balsa sheets are at least 1 inch wide and less than 1 inch in thickness.  Balsa sheets are sometimes called balsawood sheets, balsa wood panels, balsa wood skins, and balsa single ply.  We weigh our balsa sheets so if you need a specific density we should be able to find it for you.  Balsa can vary between 3# (foam weight) - 40# (oak weight) for pounds per cubic foot (lbs/cuft) but the most common densities are 8-16 pounds per cubic foot.  Balsa sheets are used for rc airplanes, sewing, decorations, laser projects, breakaway props, models, bridges, towers, laminates, ultra light balsa airplanes, surf boards, and for cutting kit parts.

Include information about density in the message box at the end of this page:

• Light Balsa at (6-10 pounds per cubic foot), Medium Balsa at (10-14 pounds per cubic foot), & Heavy Balsa at (14-19 pounds per cubic foot) are all 40% extra.
• Extra Light Balsa at (6 or less pounds per cubic foot) & Extra Heavy Balsa at (19+ pounds per cubic foot) are 100% extra. Please note that Extra Light balsa is sometimes referred to as "Contest Grade" balsa because is used for ultra light airplane contests. It is usually discolored, very hard to find, very brittle, weak, and squishy.
• No preference as to a weight of balsa = no additional charge.

*Grain classification if needed is 100% extra. » balsa grain classifications explained
