Thread: Balsa Wood Idea

About half the bases I have been stationed at have both woodshops and auto shops, sadly in New Orleans we only have an auto shop. I guess if I wanted to get really creative I probably could go buy the tools to properly smooth out the wood and ensure it was square. Problem is, I would probably never use these items again LOL.

I did a quick search on Woodworking Clubs in LA. and came up with these three:

Lake Charles Woodworkers Club, Inc.
1139 Green Road
Lake Charles, LA 70611
Email: [email protected]
Web site: www.lcwoodworkers.com
Louisiana Wildfowl Carvers and Collectors Guild

Shreveport Association of Woodworkers (SAW)

You might contact one of them and see if they could help you out along that frugal route. If they have anyone that has a lathe you might be able to get a brush, bowl , etc done..
