This is bad news. I've found lots of great wood at Michaels. None of the local home stores around here carry balsa at all. Home Depot used to sell balsa. But I haven't seen any lately.

Now I'm stuck fighting all of the other model builders for decent wood. At least I have accumulated a good supply of contest grade balsa. I'll have to be extra vigilant about buying good wood.

I've never heard Yuppy's quote. My statement is that you buy good wood when you find it; not when you need it.
