Good balsa at a good price (including shipping)

I have been buying my balsa from this store for years, but this was my first “on-line”purchase. The 6 balsa slabs where straight, with no significant bowing and no warp which help in resawing thin strips (I don’t have a jointer). The weight was around 600 gr per 2” x 2 3/8” slab except for one at 475 gr. So fairly “hard” balsa, which I prefer anyway. But I have bought miscellaneous density in store where I could select the slabs. The shipping fee by courier was exemplary low making it basically not worth a drive across Ottawa. The balsa was wrapped in protective padded packing. I am very satisfied of the balsa and even more of the reasonable shipping fee. And I received the package within a few days.

The 4 peices of Balsa had a considerable weight difference so I will have to rethink my project.

Fantastic Customer Service

It was my first time dealing with KJP Select Hardwoods and I’ll definitely be coming back for more balsa wood for my African Grey parrot.

Customer service was impeccable along with the speedy delivery.

Very pleased

The balsa I ordered came quickly and looks great. There are a couple small cracks on each end but I can work around that.

Color y trabajabilidad

Color y trabajabilidad

Debido a su veta fina, la madera de balsa se lija suavemente y retiene bien la pintura. Esta madera tiene una textura gruesa y un color claro y cremoso que proporcionará una base versátil para cualquiera de sus necesidades de tallado. Debido a la increíble textura y densidad de la madera de balsa, puede ser propensa a abolladuras y marcas si no se manipula con cuidado.

Acabado recomendado

¿Ha terminado de tallar y está listo para acabar? Nuestro acabado de aceite natural Livos funciona de maravilla para aplicar con brocha o sumergir piezas más intrincadas, asegurando una cobertura completa para todos los rincones y grietas. Este acabado se puede aplicar en múltiples capas sin lijar su delicada talla, y proporciona un brillo y una protección excepcionales.

Si está tallando algo para usar con alimentos, como una cuchara u otro utensilio, le recomendamos nuestra crema natural de madera Honey Bee’s.

What is Rough Cut Lumber?

Rough Cut Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.

We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough Cut Lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough Cut Lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.

For example: 4/4 x 6" x 24”

You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.

 

S4S Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.

The term “surfaced” or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.

For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”
