Boyle Industries Hobby Wood 915 x 20 x 20mm Brown Paulownia Wood Rod

Boyle Hobby Wood is made from plantation-grown paulownia wood.

• Lightweight wood • Strong and durable • Naturally resistant to rotting, decay, termites and fire • Can be easily stained or painted • Offers low shrinkage and expansion

Paulownia wood can be cut using a craft knife. It is a lightweight timber that has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any lightweight wood. It is perfect to use for model building where greater strength is required.

Paulownia wood is suitable to use for: • Housing components that do not require high timber strength. • Aircraft and yacht fittings that require light wood. • Veneers for plywood. • Barrels, especially those used for acids. • Beehives for which lightweight and good insulating properties are needed. • Aqueducts in rural areas. • Handicrafts because the wood is easy to carve and turn. • Wooden storage boxes. • Wood shavings for packaging and insulation.
