Andrew....

I would think it a blessing on what you found. For in my experience in obtain solid slabs of balsa wood, they all tend to run thinner than advertised. This "too Thinness" runs from maybe .020" to 1/16" too thin, or less than advertised.

I drove over to a wholesaler a few years ago to obtain some 1/20th balsa. None in the bins. But they sure had a lot of extra-extra thin 1/16th stock that was marked at a more appropriate price.

The lump-bump was caused by the designer not taking in to account the actucal dimensions of the wood being used for construction. Most plywood today is metric based and thus thinner, and in my plans I account for this different thicknesses.
