FOGAWA Balsa Wood Sheets 300x200x1.5mm Unfinished Unpainted Basswood Plywood Thin Sheets Baltic Birch Plywood for Mini House Airplane Ship Boat DIY Model 5pcs

These sheets of wood arrived on time and are of good quality. Bought them to use with my Cricut Maker (knife blade).TIP for fellow Cricut Maker Crafters: Since these are Balsa Wood - I selected Material = Balsa Wood 1/16". Even after adding several additional cuts (after initial 7 cuts), it would not cut all the way through. I then selected BASSWOOD 1/16" because this setting applies additional pressure and makes more initial cuts (14). This did the trick!I would recommend these for use with the Cricut Maker as long as you select the material as Basswood (not Balsa) within the Cricut Design Space.

If you have a Circut Maker, I'm sure this works wonderfully. I have an Explorer Air 2 and used the deep cut blade and the highest pressure (350) and highest number of passes (9x) and it left a little bit to trim off via X-Acto knife. If I was doing larger/fewer letters, I would have completed my project nicely by trimming the last bits off myself. The wood itself was nice and seemed to work fine if i had the correct machine.

I bought these to use with my cricut maker. It was the 1st project I ever made. There was some learning (because I'm new to cricut) the cricut brand balsa wood warped when I glued and painted it from the added moisture but this product did not! However, it was a smidge more brittle and the thin bits prone to breakage but I think that's be the case with anything like this. I hadn't intended to paint away the outset but due to breaks, I decided to paint the project to camouflage the imperfections.

I would not recommend for the Cricut Maker. I purchased this to cut a simple project and even with a brand new blade, multiple passes and attempting to use different material types, I still could not get it to cut all the way through this wood. Perhaps others were success but they did not share how. I went off the few reviews of folk who said they cut it on a Maker. This may be good for other projects, but I’d keep looking if you plan to use it for the Cricut Maker. It is also much thicker than the Balsawood I got from Joann’s. I just noticed in the description it lists both types of wood, so hard to know what we actually have. I thought I was purchasing 1/16 Balsawood.

This is exactly the material that is needed to repair a crashed RC plane. Using a razor blade and firm pressure you can cut the material to the shape you need. Lots of material, far more than I hope to ever need, but who knows. I'd buy again, if needed.
