Help with Balsa wood

Postby L4DYCR0F7 » Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:53 am

Hi there,
I'm from the Uk and have been looking for somewhere I can buy Balsa wood from that hasn't been treated. I purchased some from ebay and decided before doing anything with it I would ask the seller if it had been treated in anyway, as it said untreated on the site. He said that as soon as it comes over from its source it is treated with a strong bug killer and as stupid a question as this is because I'm pretty sure I know the answer, is this ok to use?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Try the natural bird store. Owned by Karen Heaney. They sell beautiful natural wood toys and also toy making kits.
