End Grain Balsa Sandwich Structures
Balsa wood, one of the oldest core materials, is again being used in sandwich structures.

End Grain Balsa floor panels are still widely used by most airlines and airframe manufacturers. A large stock of balsa wood is available in all densities from General Veneer Manufacturing Co. http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journa...&show=abstract I don't know a thing about it but did a quick search and came up with the above. ya beat me to it BIG Daddy :drink: ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:coolcowboy: ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drink: |
My 368 is full carbon fiber, & hasn't had a single stress crack of any kind or any sign of wear at all in the 6 years I've had it. I've had it in rough Lake Michigan water, as well as rough Atlantic water many times, & it's the strongest boat I've ever had.
