New balsa wood source

saikrishna123456 · March 24, 2015, 08:20:06 AM

Guys i just came across this site.. http://glorodbalsa.com/index.php
the balsa is insanely cheap

has anyone ordered from this site before?

the best part is that they sell on volume basis and cut to the required thickness
all this sounds too good to be true..

I got in touch with one of there persons Mr. Sheen Thomas, they generally cut logs and season/dry them for 4 weeks
Log size is 36 x 3 x 3 inches, 36 x 3 inch is standard and within 3inch thickness the log gets sliced according to sheet thickness.

Waiting for a quote.
