Any possibility that you could produce laser - cut kits of these? I know that balsa is
at a premium; maybe it'd be a good way to use up some less than ideal balsa.
2 - 3 sizes to start?
Many thanks in advance,

And if not balsa for any reason (due to its relatively high cost, or perhaps they do already have other uses for the non-premium balsa stock), how about cradles made of laser-cut beveridge board (the paper industry's name for "fiber fin stock")? |
