I get mine from Tower. Seems to be good quality no worm holes and no splits or broken pieces

From reading these kinds of threads in the last few months Balsa USA is the most highly talked about.

The previously most talked about was Lone Star but they burned to a total loss recently

Lone Star's site is now not working anymore. the server is still there but no pages. I guess that means they wont be coming back.

A frayed knot.

Riley Wooten was getting along in years. They never considered starting over. I think what was left was sold to Nelson?

They sure took care of me while they were in business.
