12x8x1/16“ Balsa Sheets

We made some very large graduation caps for table decorations with these. They are very thin so they buckled when painted but if you let the wood rest - it’s workable. We glued 2 painted pieces together and had to be re-glued 3 times . They were a big hit at our reunion party. Price was very affordable.

My daughter begged me to turn her old doll house into a Christmas house for her elf’s on the shelf. We had some furniture but we needed to divide a room to make an extra bathroom. I know I know it’s a little much but it was something fun we did together.We made a deck, counters, tables, beds, and used it for walls. It was very smooth so no splinters and it was pretty easy to cut with a exacto knife. We didn’t quite finish all of it but there is always next year.She even took some of the extra and drew and painted some pictures on them.

and my expectations were met. This is very flimsy feeling and not for projects you want to sell or use, but it is great for testing laser cuts. We use it as "larger scrap" when testing laser designs for fit etc. instead of using our regular wood supply. To give you an idea, even when we just do a light engrave, you can see pinholes all the way through the other side like it was cutting. Not durable enough or nice feeling enough for most projects but perfectly acceptable for learning and testing.

This is not a good product for crafts. It is solid wood, which warps and breaks easily. I do not recommend this as project wood. Make sure you are getting plywood for your projects. Having solid wood, the grain goes all the way through and will easily break. Plywood would prevent that. Also does not do well with laser engraved photos.

Have ordered them twice, great for craft projects.

I bought this for laser cutting some boxes, but on the way from cutting a piece on my workbench to the laser cutter I managed to snap the wood by just bumping into something with it. I did some stress testing on some more pieces and determined it would not be good for making things that will be handled, especially if the thing have narrow pieces that may overhang. It snaps at the natural seams between the wood fibers.Despite that it is a good looking wood, so rather than messing with shipping it back, I'm going to keep it and use it for décor pieces and such that won't be handled. The sheets are around 3.2mm (~1/8in) thick. Also be aware that they ship the product just wrapped in plastic, so its more susceptible to the top or bottom sheets becoming damaged as well as for the edges of all pieces, so don't order just one pack if you have to have 24 sheets edge to edge.The two pieces I measured came out to between 3.24 to 3.52 mm in thickens in different spot.It is very important to note that this is NOT plywood and that is most likely why people are reporting warping issues. It is made up of solid wood and solid wood warps across the width of the grain when exposed to changes in humidity level/temperature. Plywood negates a lot of the warpage by having multiple layers of wood glued together with the grain of each layer going in the opposite direction as the previous one resulting in them counteracting each others attempts to warp. If you get pressed flat, dried, and then seal it with something like clear coat, that should help prevent so much warpage.

I am a scale model builder who remembers when you could buy bass in just about any craft store very cheaply any time you wanted. This fills the need that was left! This product seems a bit more brittle than the domestic wood of old, but this seems easier to work with anyway!!!

Will definitely order this again. We have cut through 1.5 of the packs and not hit a patch of glue yet. There were only a couple pieces with small knots or mineral patches and we were able to avoid them. (again really small patches.) Definitely will be ordering more in the future.

Doesn’t work for what I wanted to use it for but it’s working for a different project

Warped and.i don't think it is basswood.
