Would be good to have 'rounded' balsa wood to start with. But using balsa would be much to time consuming for me.

That popper has so many different layers to it.

  Just tied a few using gap filler foam, the first three were disasters then figured out what I did wrong and they are now looking good. They are very quick :)

This sounds interesting Militaris - can you give us a piccie of the filler and the poppers you made from it? It really does sound really good.
