  1. balsa wood

    Balsa wood is a type of lightweight and durable wood sourced from the balsa tree, scientifically named Ochroma pyramidale. It is native to parts of South and Central America. Known for its low density and high strength, it is often used in model-building, craft projects, and in the construction of floating devices like rafts due to its excellent buoyancy. Despite being one of the lightest woods, balsa wood is surprisingly strong and sturdy.
