I keep this note in the Notes app on my phone, always handy. I find it easy to just look for the correct line item rather than interpreting a graph while I'm juggling the scale and the phone and the pieces of wood. I target 10-12 lb/ft^3 for rocket use but often I have to go a bit outside the range if that's all that is available.

Balsa sheets: target 10-12 lb/ft^3

1/32 x 3 x 36: 9g - 11g
1/16 x 2 x 36: 12g - 15g
1/16 x 3 x 36: 18g - 22g
1/16 x 4 x 36: 24g - 29g

3/32 x 3 x 36: 27g - 33g
3/32 x 4 x 36: 36g - 43g

1/8 x 4 x 36: 48g - 58g

1/4 x 3/8 x 36: 9g - 11g
1/4 x 1/4 x 36: 6g - 7.5g

3/16 x 3/8 x 36: 6.5g - 8g
