They are a perfect fit for the project we are trying to do

They are a perfect fit for the project we are trying to do. All of the strips are just under 9 inches long, which is exactly the length we need. It was a good choice of thickness, mostly 1/8" or 1/4" deep and anywhere from 1/8"-3./4" wide. Order more now!

Pros
  • Raw Wood
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

Not exactly like the picture

The package I received seems a bit more modest (to the eye) than the actual photo of this economical balsa/linden bag. Also half of the package was made up of thicker pieces - 1 1/2" x 1/4" x 8 7/8" balsa wood and very easy to cut to the exact dimensions I need for my project. So it has worked well. Here is the picture. Decent value IMHO. Would buy again after researching a bit more for alternatives.

Pros
  • kraft
Cons
  • old

I will not buy anything from Midwest Products again.

I bought two "thrifty" wooden bags for the school bridge project. One contained this bag with stripes, and the other contained the "assorted" balsa bag (all stripes are in the picture). I wanted most of the balsa and some basswood for the most stressed elements. What I got from this product was ALL fake. Almost 1/3 of the pieces have gray streaks of inner rind (weak flesh) running through them. At around 50 cents per stick, I expect better. I can buy oak cheaper! One even had a knot with a…

Pros
  • Painting, handicrafts and sewing
Cons
  • I will add later
