Description

915mm long x 8mm diameter.

Balsa Rounds are useful for craft and model applications, with the wide range of sizes anything from model fence posts to Aircraft fuselage can be created out of balsa rounds. Balsa rounds are also very useful when creating strong joins: they can be used in a dowel like manner to ‘pin’ joins and add extra strength and reliability.

Balsa Rounds / Dowel are available in 915mm lengths with a range of diameters from 5mm to 30mm.

Balsa can be shaped and machined with any traditional woodworking tools or machines . Band, Scroll and Circular saws make excellent clean cuts in Balsa Wood. Hand tools such as hacksaws, jewellers saws, chisels, planers, sandpaper etc are all great tools to work Balsa with. In addition to these woodworking tools it is possible to cut or carve off layers of Balsa Wood with a standard Hobby Knife or Stanley Knife. Performing more passes with less wood removed in each pass will produce the best results.

The porous nature of Balsa Wood means it accepts stains and finishes readily. Balsa works well with a wide range of adhesives – in particular, glues such as our PVA Glue Range and the fast setting, high strength UHU Hart Glue for Balsa.
