Has anyone tried nationalbalsa.com? Theyre up in New England and have very fair prices. They have 2 grades of 4-6# contest wood. Ones cheaper because it has blemishes.

Jake at Specialized Balsa will do a good job for you if you explain what you want. I'm not aware that he is doing indoor thicknesses. I went to them after Lone Star really botched a substantial order for me in 2010. Prior to their fire I had received good balsa from Lone Star.
