The wibly-wobbly payload could be improved by using a dwarf tree, and allowing it to dry out ahead of time. Alternatively, you could reinforce it with a few layers of resin, which would eat up any weight savings, but would improve its rigidity. Regardless, this was dope! Very cool project!! Lots of fun! I hope to see more!
