BALSA Paipo - I have been stoked to get a log of Balsa which has been grown in an Eden Project biome. The log has been cut into strips. Two strips set together are wide enough to form a deck or bottom. Shots of the project will be posted here.
The grain is beautiful - it reminds me of a prehistoric cave painting
