Balsa Hardwood

Exceptionally lightweight and incredibly easy to work with, balsa wood is a favourite among hobbyists, model makers, and crafters. We offer premium balsa products ideal for building models, prototypes, crafts, and other precision projects that require a soft, workable material with minimal weight. Despite its softness, balsa boasts impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making it perfect for delicate constructions like architectural models, RC aircraft, and custom displays. It cuts, sands, glues, and finishes effortlessly, allowing for detailed, accurate work—even with hand tools. As a proudly Canadian company, Windsor Plywood is known for sourcing hard-to-find materials and providing expert, personalized service. Whether you're a seasoned model builder or just getting started, our selection of balsa wood helps bring your ideas to life—light, precise, and beautifully easy to shape.
