Is this balsa or spruce? (both are common in model airplanes). Balsa this
thin would be REALLY soft.

What you want here is Sentra. It's high-density PVC foam. Looks like a
cross between acrylic (only softer and much easier to work) and foam core
board (much stronger and more flexible, and can be bent with heat). They
make it with both matt and gloss finishes, and a variety of colors,
including black.
