I got an order about Feb. of last year (2012) from Lone Star that was FANTASTIC, about $200.00 worth. I wonder what has happened or is going on?
Thanks Very Much &
Keep'em Flyin'
James Strickland

I can endorse Specialized Balsa. I've ordered from them several times and I've always been happy with what I received. They weigh every sheet and if you want 5lb wood, that's what you get.

>>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.
