Default RE: Obechi instead of balsa?
I have been using very thinly sanded Poplar with great results. I have been sanding it down to 1mm so it is not that heavy and perfect for accepting paint. I hate plastic coverings so that is why I went that direction. I do have some Obechi, but it is very open grained and would take filling to look smooth.
