We stock & supply balsa from sustainable farms around the world
Balsa Timber has a wide array of uses, not only in the model industry but also as a replacement filler timber for more industrious uses too, such as for furniture - this is thanks to balsa's rapid growth and ease of farming - what other timber can see a single person lifting an entire trunk!
Model aeroplanes: you can find a lot of aeroplanes and gliders made from Balsa, particularly for hobbyists who wish to create lightweight, strong and flexible planes.
Boats and surfboards: Watercraft like boats and surfboards are made by placing it between layers of fibreglass to buttress its flexibility and strength,
Furniture: Designers are increasingly turning to balsa wood as a material for furniture, lauding its sustainability as a fast-growing tree along with its aesthetic properties.
Musical string instruments: Designer of musical instruments, particularly string instruments like violins, use balsa for its excellent acoustics.
Model bridges: It is useful for students of Design and Technology and engineering who need to build model bridges as part of the curriculum.

Length Balsa can be used for many things including:
Surfboards: balsa is a remarkably fantastic material for surfboards. Many of the world's finest surfboards are shaped using balsa as their inner-core material, providing ample buoyancy and world-class performance characteristics.
Prop Building: using balsa as a prop-building material allows for fast efficient development to take place, using a renewable resource that is both light-weight yet strong, and of course easy to work with.
Furniture: Designers are increasingly turning to balsa wood as a material for furniture, lauding its sustainability as a fast-growing tree along with its aesthetic properties.
Please NOTE: Due to the nature of this material, some of the lengths may bow or change in shape.
