Balsa wood approved for laser?

Hi all,

I didn’t see Balsa wood on the laser acceptable list. Is it ok to cut?

Thanks,
Colin

The LCC has briefly discussed, and there is no problem with balsa wood. It is approved.

You should be able to find balsa wood from local suppliers too. Try Rath Art Supplies, Magic Box Hobbies, DeSerres, and probably many others.

Awesome I’ll call a few tomorrow and see what they have in stock!

Thanks for the quick response!
