I chambered the three inner balsa planks, this batch of balsa was particularly dense and hard, the board weighs 9 lbs..

Where did you get your balsa? Anyone know of a good source for balsa lumber in the Ventura area?

It came from Austin Hardwood and Hardware in Santa Ana but it's been in my lumber stash for a couple years;
I just discovered I have some more too. :)
I don't know where to tell you to go up there.
There's these guys http://woodsurfboardsupply.com/ but their prices are pretty steep........
