Great wood products. Shipping was reasonably quick. These guys have all the right materials for building. The choices on dimensions are vast. I am now able to build my plane that I've waited 5 years to build. Thanks.
Most of our local hobby shops are long gone. Only two national chains provide traditional model building supplies. National Balsa is one of my go-to's for wood. It's always been the grade and quality they advertised. My latest order included some 12x12 plywood sheets which I could not find locally. Ordered what I needed, along with a few extras, as well as some other products I was running low on. Shipping time was acceptable, packaging was great....no damage at all. Thanks again!
Been buying your wood for over 18 years. Great quality! Fast shipping.
I build HO scale trestle bridges from your wood.
I ordered 14 sheets of 1/16 x 4 x 36. It arrived and is very clear, consistent and light.
I’m working on a vintage 1/4 scale radio control airplane and the wood in the kit is warped and dry! I replaced some of the bad wood with National Balsa Co., wood. Quality wood. Nicely cut, and straight pieces . This has really helped me with my build.
The wood I ordered was in perfect shape and condition. Arrived on time. Thanks.
wood look great can`t wait to use it
Best quality wood I have used
This is the best CA out here. Good price too!
I receive a quality product in excellent condition in a timely manner. Thank you
I have been purchasing balsa from this supplier for many years. Their balsa wood is of the highest quality, and I highly recommend it for building flying model aircraft. Their bundle packs normally include a very generous selection of Contest Weight Balsa for light weight aircraft construction. I will continue to purchase my contest model balsa from National Balsa for a long time.
Order was packed very well. Balsa was excellent. Will order again. Thanks
Very pleased with National Balsa bundle deal. Very impressed with both quality and delivery. I'd highly recommend to those seeking superior balsa products.
Just thought I'd send you a picture of the canoe I built with 1/4x3/4x48 balsa strips from your shop. It's 20 feet long, 4 feet wide, weighs about 100 lbs and survived its first outing on the lakes of the Allagash waterway.

Hello National Balsa,
Two summers ago my friend Ben and I bought balsa from you to make a surfboard.I thought you would appreciate the photographs I took of the process and final product.Let me know if you would like to use any of them. The surfboard rides great, thanks for the quality balsa!
All the best,
Sebastian
"My engineering class (high school seniors) created a suspension bridge from balsa you supplied last year. It took my entire class of 18 students about 4 months to build. In the end, a 50lb cart drove across the full length of the bridge and I stood in the middle of the span with a total load of 200lbs on the road deck. The bridge itself is 2m long and 40 cm wide with a tower height of about 1m."
