Assuming you mean positive attributes, it is good for carving and crafting, with a chisel or dremel. It is a soft wood, thus making it easy to cut, but obviously easier to break. It's soft enough to make a slight indent when you press your nail against it relatively hard.

Unlike other hardwoods, balsa wood cells are fatter and contain more water. Only 40 percent of the wood is actually solid because it contains less lignin - the plant "cement" that solidifies wood. It is considered the lightest and softest of the hardwoods.
