Balsa Wood

[Ross365]

Any modellers out there with a knowledge of good stockists of balsa wood? I'm looming for a length with section of 40 x 10mm, could be a bit bigger, or a section size that could be used in two pieces to give 40 x10. Any suggestions appreciated.

Some balsa you can mark by pressing with a finger tip and some is denser and harder. Horses for courses etc etc.
