End grain balsa core panels
 
Years ago you were able to buy end gran balsa core panels, 4' x 8' sheets in different thickness. These were light panels that were very strong and could be used as bulk heads vs using heavy 3/4 marine plywood. Anyone know where I can buy some sheet or if they are made anymore. I think the name was "baltek" . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just Google it. Widely available. Coosa would be a better choice or Nidacore honeycomb for bulkhead panels.

I have tried googling with no luck. Only found old information. The only company that I found that use to but no longer sells the panels was Baltek. They sold to 3A composites and no longer sells the panels. I want the look of the end grain vs the Coosa to match the end grain on my floor. Hopefully I will find or another member who
can help direct me to a resource that sells them. Thanks
