Balsa Is, 50 far as is known. the lightest wood that grows. The com mercial product averages in weight from g to 10 pounds per cubic foot, or about one-third less than cork. In- dividual pieces of balsa have been found to weigh as low as pounds per cubic foot. This lightness results from it's peculiar cellular structure. which is said to differ from that of any other wood. In ordinary woods, the thick ness of the cell walls generally forms a considerable part of their diameter. Tn balsa the cell walls are extremely thin, and where ordinarily there are woody flores, there is in balsa practi- caliy no ligniication.
