Balsa Grain Orientation

Recommended Posts

Mark,

   Yes it does. With the grain along the short axis there is more end grain along the long axis. Even with the through wire and epoxy it is much more likely to break. The end grain on the top and bottom also will give you more problems sanding and painting. Just the nature of wood.
