Yes, I have had osteoarthritis most of my life.  However, I still can make a balsa board.  I have had only one customer ride his balsa (my dentist) and it just kills me.  These are made for wall display, just as paintings.

The San-O is not the prettiest shape to wall display, but we can discuss that later.
Blanks are a bit tough to obtain but not impossible.  Patience is suggested if you really want a balsa.
