 Paulowinia blocks So you have seen what I am doing with wood...... pretty simple. I am doing it in balasa when I can find it at Hobby Lobby. But i had been reading about Paulowinia having teh same basic properties as Balsa and its twice as strong> This would be great for making better whittled dolls and bigger versions too. Does anyone know where i can get: Paulowinia in a 4" X 6 " X 12 inch block and 3"x3"12" blocks down to 1/2"x1/2 x 24 inch blocks like whjat balasa comes in??? julie  |

| Re: Paulowinia blocks Hi Julie! Welcome to the forum! Decoycarve (Goody) tipped me off to Groff's Lumber in Pennsylvania. They carry a variety of domestic woods including paulownia. Her's a link: Groff & Groff Lumber, Flooring, Exotic Lumber, Domestic Lumber I haven't gotten paulownia from them but I did order poplar. And the quality and the price was good--plus mail order was convenient since I live in NJ. Hope that helps! Bob L P.S. In case you don't know the lumber terminology, check the glossary. |

| Re: Paulowinia blocks Hi Julie. I don't know about where to buy it, but I was given a nice hunk of Pawlonia stump by a friend...you can see the results on the swan deke post of Animals & Birds here. Thanks for the link to Groff & Groff Bob! -Mark |

 Re: Paulowinia blocks I tried the link but it takes me to the pricing page and every time I try to go to the home page my computer times out.

| Re: Paulowinia blocks TreeWizard, There's sort of a slide show on the home page--so, if you're using dial-up, that might be the reason it's taking a bit to load. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem is. Here's their contact info. if that helps: Groff & Groff Lumber, Inc. 858 Scotland Road Quarryville, PA 17566 (800) 342-0001 (717) 284-0001 Fax (717) 284-2400 E-mail: wood4u@groffslumber.com |
