If you want balsa composite by the piece see the link here to McMaster-Carr.
http://www.mcmaster.com/
Glass faced balsa wood sheets.
Search for p/n 7454K41. Click on "catalog page" (it's page 3325)
I have a piece of 1/2 in. thick on my desk. It's actually .522 thick, weighs 15 oz/sq. ft. (.94 lb/sq ft).
I too am using it for a project.
Unfortunately 3/8 is the thinnest they sell. There are other neat composit panels on that page.
