Even if officially classified as a hardwood, balsa wood is a very soft wood, so extreme care should be taken when handling and cutting. It comes in many thicknesses and can be bought in sheets or square lengths.
When cutting sheets is it best to cut on a cutting mat and use a sharp scalpel or knife. A new blade is always favourable to avoid slipping or using too much force.
For square lengths a fine bladed saw is the best option.
Always make sure you have a firm grip of the balsa wood before cutting. And always measure twice and cut once.
