: Malcolm - where did you find the Paulownia?

Hello Ross,

I got it from Brad at Wood Surfboard Supply.

http://www.woodsurfboardsupply.com/wood_kits.html

It is very high quality stuff. There are a lot of differences in Paulownia from supplier to supplier. The stuff Brad has in stock is very strong and extremely lightweight. He's also got balsa up to 3x6x90 I buy his 1.5x1.5x36 balsa for internal bracing. It makes great internal stems as well- easy to shape, light weight.
