its better if you get a balsa sample from somewhere and show it to local "Ara Machine". They will definitely get u some similar alternative wood(but definitely heavy). This is how i got mirandi wood. This helped me, hope the idea works for u as well. Best of luck. For cotton wool wood, ask for "Samul" wood. Samul logs it is easily available at cotton farms for very cheap or free. get one for yourself and get cutted into sheets. Title: Re: sample.....

Japanica is called 'Patiala ply' or something, as told by some senior (Capt manish/Sanjeev ). This is the only viable options you may have. VC on this forum once had some similar material. He could some crucial feedback. Title: Re: sample..... Post by: AEROVISHWA on February 26, 2011, 04:59:27 PM i ll surely try out the suggestions given .....
