Balsa Wood Sheet, 5 Pack Plywood Sheets, Basswood Sheets 12 X 12 X 1/16 Inch, Unfinished Craft Wood, Thin Wood Boards for Laser Cutting, Engraving, Wood Burning, Crafts

Just what I wanted to cover a hole in the wall in my closet. A bit thicker and stronger than balsa-wood, which is what I was looking for.

I picked up this 5-pack of 12x12 balsa/basswood sheets, and they’ve been excellent for lightweight projects. At 1/16" thick, they’re thin enough to cut easily with a craft knife or laser cutter, but still strong enough to hold shape without crumbling. The sheets are smooth and consistent across the pack, with very little warping. I’ve used them for stencils, model building, and small engraving projects, and they take detail well. The size makes them versatile for both hobby work and laser cutting experiments. Pros: Thin, lightweight sheets that cut cleanly Smooth, even surface ideal for engraving and painting Consistent size and quality across all five pieces Great for stencils, models, or DIY crafts Cons: At 1/16", they’re too thin for heavy-duty projects (better for light crafts) Being natural wood, some minor grain variation is expected Overall, these sheets are a solid option for hobbyists, laser users, or anyone needing thin, workable wood panels. Good quality and value for small projects.

Perfect! I use these like easels to tape down watercolor paper. I often have more than one painting at various stages of drying or completion. It is easy to move them aside still attached to the board until I can continue. And it is easy to remove the finished pieces and reuse the board. Sometimes I create multi-layered pieces, gluing various textures of paper right onto the board so the boards become the backing for a piece. They are thin enough to still fit in a frame for this art. I consider these a neccessity of my art.

Worked perfectly to make replacement blades for one of those Christmas candle carousels. Grandson knocked over the original and broke a few blades. This was correct thickness and simple to cut with a utility knife. Wood was nice and flat and no warped pieces in the pack. Parts that I made remained flat as well

Used these to make horses for my daughter’s birthday! They were easy to cut with super strong scissors and were very light weight! They were so large in size that I have so many left over!
