Do you know where I can buy balsa wood of precise size/density? It's difficult to find 1/16" sizes on amazon, much less wood with consistent and measured density

[@balsaengineering6686]

When buying online, I like to use Specialized Balsa: specializedbalsa.com/products/balsa_sheets.php There you can buy sheets of just about any size and then cut your own strips. I would recommend for this application, it's worth it to specify "light" density. Be sure to check out my creating a balsa library video to see how I cut the strips and a few tips when using that tool: th-cam.com/video/bLsTOpmozGI/w-d-xo.html

also, how do you cut the balsa sheets precisely? Do you use a cutter?

@@allisonhuang9589 Yes, I have been using this simple stripper tool: www.amazon.com/Master-Airscrew-Windsor-Propeller-Stripper/dp/B0000WS5OQ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1MQM027RAYKBT&keywords=balsa+stripper&qid=1706663550&sprefix=%2Caps%2C249&sr=8-2 Watch the video I linked above to see it in action
