Balsa SHEET 915mm

$3.40

Balsa Wood Sheets are our most popular Balsa format.

Sheet balsa is available in a wide range of sizes, from 0.8mm to 25mm thick, 75mm or 100mm wide and 915mm or 1220mm long.

Most sheets are machined in "A" grain format for ease of manufacture and cost-effectiveness but B and C grain are also available from time to time. Just ask us if we have any in stock.

"Airolite" sheets are machined from the lightest balsa wood we can source, so are perfect for your Aeromodelling and other projects, where light-weight material is important.

To calculate the specific weight of Airolite sheets by their thickness visit the "Downloads" section at the bottom of the home page or click here to view the Airolite Balsa Sheet Calculator.

(Airolite balsa wood sheets now replace "Competition Select" as our lightest available balsa sheet product.)

Weight variation.

The thirty sheets of 0.8mm x 100mm balsa were all of good uniform grain and appearance. I was surprised by the weight variation which ranged from 6.2gm per sheet right up to 19.3gm which is 3 times heavier.

Hi Greg - thanks for your accurate description of the weight variation of the 30 balsa sheets. 30 sheets could very well be cut from 30 different balsa trees so we do get a lot of variation between all thicknesses/sizes of products unfortunately. I hope this does not curtail your project in any way though. All the best - Peter

Haven’t received my order

My order was sent 23 days ago using couriers please. It still hasn’t arrived.

Hi Melaney. So sorry to hear of your bad experience with delivery times over Christmas :(
We constantly review our relationships with courier services for this very reason but it's such a shame that you had to wear the brunt of poor service. Please accept our apologies. - Peter

Quality and price

In all the years I have been using Balsa Central's products, I am yet to receive an unusable piece. That includes their budget balsa packs. As a prolific scratch builder trying to sate the appetite of a gluttonous laser cutter - it matters. Bought sight unseen, the quality exceeds what I used to hand pick from the LHS before they became extinct. Communication is excellent, pricing is competitive. The freight to my door is quicker from interstate, than what local deliveries provide. Thanks for keeping the grass roots level of our hobby alive!

We're all about grass roots hobby David and put a lot of emphasis on making sure what you order is what you get for the best value possible. I really appreciate your feedback and your time! - Peter
