Of course you can get the wood. Since the balsa is from a non-EU source exception will have to be obtained from EU, Agricultural Products Subcommitee in Strasbourg (except alternate thursdays when they are in Dusseldorf) After an environmental review and assessment of the trade balance impact the question cam be presented to the full agricultural trade committee planned to meet in the spring of 2003.
The sitka spruce, if sourced in Canada, is more of a problem. Under the NAFTA agreement this is considered softwood exports and is subject to excess duty for exports outside north america.
Can you make the whole thing of fiberglass?
