Default RE: where to get hard balsa?

I believe BUSA sells 4-6 pound wood specifically. Otherwise, you take what they send you. For particular density requirements, your local hobby shop, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and others might have what you want. Learn to recognize different grains (weights) by sight and feel. You can also take a small scale with you to weigh the wood. Harder wood is heavier.
