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.
