The Properties of Balsa Wood (Ochrorna Lagopus)
Balsa wood grows extensively in the Central American and northern South American States as a second-growth tree. It is the lightest wood known, so far as any evidence attainable is concerned. This paper shows the microscopical structure and also gives various tests of its transverse and compressive strength. The material is composed of very thin-walled cells, which are barrel-shaped, interlace with each other, and are almost devoid of woody fiber.
