Balsa wood is the lightest wood and is frequently used in model making and light aircrafts - and it is also great for carvings as is demonstrated with this artwork. The trees are harvested after only 6 to 10 years of growth, making balsa wood an abundant natural product, unlike some other woods were trees need to grow for decades if not centuries. Most of the world's balsa supply originates from Ecuador, where this carving was manufactured.
