Description

AAA Grade Balsa Wood Dowels Precision Circular Profiles (915mm)

AAA Grade Balsa Wood dowels are a high-quality, lightweight structural material designed for professional model making, aeronautical engineering, and film production. Each dowel is precision-machined to ensure a perfectly circular cross-section and a smooth, consistent finish. Sourced from sustainable, plantation-grown timber, these dowels offer the exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that is characteristic of premium balsa wood, making them a reliable choice for complex structural assemblies.

Applications:

  • Architectural Model Making: Ideal for representing cylindrical structural columns, vertical supports, and organic landscape elements. The circular profile provides a sleek, professional aesthetic for contemporary massing models and can be easily sanded or refined for high-detail presentation work.
  • Aeronautical & RC Engineering: A staple material for constructing lightweight fuselage frameworks, wing leading edges, and landing gear struts. The consistent grain and structural rigidity of these dowels are critical for engineers developing high-performance, flight-capable prototypes.
  • Film & TV Prop Making: Used extensively for building lightweight "hero" props, intricate miniatures, and set details. Balsas uniform surface allows these dowels to be easily carved, sanded, and painted to simulate a variety of industrial materials, metallic pipes, or historical wooden fixtures.
  • Industrial & Product Design: Perfect for rapid volumetric studies and ergonomic mock-ups. The dowels can be easily cut, drilled, or joined to create lightweight skeletal frames for early-stage design prototypes.

Technical Specifications:

  • Material: AAA Grade Balsa Wood
  • Shape: Solid Circular Dowel
  • Length: 915mm (Approx. 36in)
