Wanted to know where I would find a carving knife and balsawood?

any straight edged pocket knife or an exacto carving knife will work.  For balsa a pairing knife from the kitchen will work.

I found balsa wood in the hobby stores.

Any hobby store would have everything you need to carve and paint. All the balsa, the knife, the airbrush equipment, and paint. Be sure to post the pics of the finished products.
