WOOD - Balsa, Plywood, covering group order
« on: June 03, 2014, 12:59:39 PM »
Hi all,

I am making an order for wood. While I am at it, anybody interested in Plywood (Poplar) or Balsa?
Poplar prices and size are in the forum already.
For balsa, I can ask if anyone's interested and post here.

Shipping charge is about 30 euros for up to 30Kgs of wood.

Covering - I can get Diacov for 80euros /10m (+shipping). Anyone interested? (shipping is 25 euros to divide by the number of rolls)

Let me know!  :D

Hi Stephen,

For the spars, what size material do you need?

Balsa sheets are a standard 1000x100mm

9mm: Not available (8 or 10 for the nearest)
3mm: 1.11euros/sheet

I am waiting for the Quote for everybody. Mail / thread will be updated for cost etc for everybody. I try to get a discount seeing the volume of wood we are buying, I'll let you know.

Hi all,

Quote received this morning.
Everybody who ordered something should have received a mail with cost etc etc.

On a side note, still time to join the group build as the company will be on holidays tomorrow!
Shipping will happen on the 30th.
