[Balloon-makers] Basket materials

[Paul Vincent Craven]

Any thoughts on the best material for a basket bottom and skids?

There are a lot of types of plywood out there. There are also stress grades:

...and they all weigh different.

Oak would work for skids. Some kind of high-density plastic for the bottom.
