Balsam Wood

thanks for the idea. I have some leftover balsa I bought for another project that I can use. I had thought of using the springloaded curtain rods, but I already have the balsa. Good idea for no cost mod. My favorite type.

We added a shelf in our medicine cabinet and in addition to the lip on the shelf, we added a matching slat to hold in the tall items.

Hate, hate, hate spell check!

Yes, balsa is what I used but every time I typed it auto correct made is balsam so I thought I was mistaken.... Thanks for the clarification.

I used plexiglass, creates the lip and can still see everything.

I used a cheap roll of the stuff to put in the bottom of cupboards and nothing has rolled out. I only used it because it was what I had on hand at the time and assumed that I would have to replace it as soon as I could.
It has worked since 2004.
And I lay anything flat that I can.
I still do not believe that it works.

We use the spring loaded adjustable curtain rods.

Is that Balsa Wood or something else?
