Had the grandkids over for Thanksgiving and they broke out the old Hot Wheels track and we long ago lost the old red connectors for them… Glowforge to the rescue! I cut these from 3/32 “Balsa” (This is that very stiff, but light wood sold from Hong Kong as “Balsa” but it is much stiffer - almost like basswood) Any 1/16 to 3/32 ply or basswood would work.

Paulownia maybe?
It could be! I did not know the name. I bought some for making balsa planes, but it was too dense. Finally found a use for it.
That’s awesome. I haven’t seen a hotwheels track in ages! I sure did have a ton of fun with mine when I was a kid.

Shucks, I’d still play with them if I still had them.
