I used Balsawoodinc.com for my last scratch build. Most of the wood was good, only a sheet or two of the 1/16" got wavy on me. The price was the best I could find on line at the time and they had the 48" sheets I needed for the fuselage. I then ordered some sheets from Tower Hobbies with some coupons and the 3/32" I got from them was very light. The whole bundle looked like it was cut from the same block. But the bundle of 1/16" from tower was pretty hard and heavy (the whole bundle) all cut from the same block. So I guess if you order from Tower, it could be great or not so good depending on your luck. I ended up using an extra sheet from my Balsawoodinc.com order for the side of my Greatplanes US60 build because the stock wood for the fuse sides were so warped and wavy. The Balsawoodinc. sheet was still flat and straight.
