Balsa Depot

Balsa Depot was found to help modelers bring back the joy of building model aircraft. Only the old school hobbiest can relate to this lost time in our hobby. It shouldnt cost as much for one piece of balsa wood as a full sheet of plywood at your local home improvement store. We are not in the balsa wood business to take advantage of the modeler but here to help the modeler!

​We will be adding more services and products to this website as time goes on. We have in house laser cutting on a large 52" x 36" 130 watt water cooled with air assist laser. We also have a very large 48" x 48" commercial grade custom built vacuum form machine with a 20" draw on up to 1/4" thick material. We wil also be offering laser kit cutting if you have files for the airplane already available. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. 

Quality, Price & Customer Support! 

Remember: Balsa Wood flies BETTER!
