Step 6Cutting the Borders
These will be the easiest cuts you make on the wood.
For each card, cut 4 long sticks out of the 1/4 inch thick balsa. Make them as wide or as thin and you want, but somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 inch is probably optimal.
Since you are cutting with the grain, 1-2 cuts would be enough to cut the pieces out.
If you only have 1/8 inch balsa available, don't worry. You just need to make twice as many sticks and stack them two deep for the border. The goal is to have your border at the same height as the tallest parts of your card.
