doxilla,
Here is the web site I ordered it from. I bought a .25" x 6" x 12" rectangle of the end-grain balsa, enough to do several firewalls. I don't think I could make it myself for $15.00 or do as nice a job as they do. I also got a square of the honeycomb laminate, perfect for servo trays and bulkheads. . . They also sell the vacuum bagging pieces.

KLX,
Yes, I got the countour tool and the protractor at Home Depot. They were hanging withing one arm's length of each other in the tool section. . .

When I ordered my vacuum bagging stuff, ACP offered 1/4" end grain balsa laminated with carbon fiber. Cutting out a new firewall from this stuff reduced the weight of this component over 50% - 40 grams to 18 grams. The same with replacing the heavy balsa bulkheads with honeycomb composite.
Keith,
what's a good place to source this stuff?
