About Calvana (12-Pack) 12x8x1/16 Balsa Sheets for Crafts
Overall Feedback:
67% positive
63% found the dimensions accurate, while 37% faced problems
I had difficulty cutting the wood for my project/machine, possibly because it was too thick.
Working with wood that warps easily is not recommended.
The 12x12 sheet is made of several skinny strips of balsa bonded together.
Basswood may only work for large cuts and is not suitable for small or intricate cuts in my cricut projects.

62% appreciated the grain pattern, but 38% found it uninteresting
The grain pattern of this wood is superb. I wish other woods looked like this.
The wood used has practically no grain or knots to mar the appearance of our project.
The wood pieces are not suitable for most wood crafting as they are made of pieces glued together with no consideration for grain pattern or wood tone.
The wood has an extremely grainy texture.

61% appreciated the moisture content, yet 39% experienced issues
I felt that the material was light and sponge-like to the touch, indicating high moisture content.
I noticed gouges on the wood, which suggests it had high moisture content upon arrival.
61% praised the sanding quality, though 39% found it rough
Unfinished wood has a rough finish, uneven thickness, and almost disintegrates when sanded to smooth it out.
The sanded surface is not as smooth as I would have liked.
When I opened the plastic, the wood quality was not as expected.
The finish on the wood surface is poor.

63% praised the wood quality, while 37% found it lacking
The wood is of high quality with no knots or grain, making it suitable for arts and crafts projects.
The first wood sheet is made of cheap, lightweight, and flimsy material, and it bends easily. It's not even real solid wood.
One sheet of wood was wrapped in plastic and put on a laser cutting machine, resulting in two cutting remnants and a logo/design cut into the surface. This raises concerns about the wood's quality.
The wood is flimsy and the machine cracked it while carving, even though it's supposed to be good for this type of wood.
