Balsa Wood Raw Breakaway Ultralight Wood Full Sheet 48 x 24 x 1.50 Inches
One Single Sheet of Balsa Wood: 24" x 48" x 1.5" Long Grain sheet. This particular density of balsa wood at 1.5” will only break on pre-scored or glued joints. This density is generally used as a support structure (table legs) and to reduce weight on our breakaway tables.
This is an extremely lightweight sheet of real wood. Balsa wood in it’s nature is a delicate and somewhat brittle hardwood. Highly pourous, this wood is used in the making of our breakaway wood props, furniture, walls, window frames, etc.
It can be cut, scored, sanded and finished exactly like real wood. It’s very easy to work with and glues together quickly and securely using hot glue, superglue and any other glue intended for wood. (We recommend hot glue!) All balsa wood sheets are made up of laminated laters of smaller blocks of wood that are then heat pressed and glued together prior to being milled into the sizes offered here. There will be evidence of this veneer/laminate process in all of these types of sheets. The veneers tend to be only slightly noticeable and, if using a water based stain, will be hard to detect.
The wood is very light, unfinished, and tend to resemble clear pine with a very delicate grain. Balsa is imported from Ecuador and we work to have a constant supply in stock. Please contact us if you plan to order large amounts or you have a tight timeline for receiving your stock. Because of the large size, the shipping costs will be determined by their size and not weight (Dimensional Weight Calculations). You can expect higher than normal shipping prices for these items, therefore ground shipping is usually best.
