Balsa wood tower 2

Second design with some (hopefully) improvements. Built with high density balsa wood it has much more bracing, but also much more weight so we'll have to wait for the test to see if the compromises pay off. Bathroom scale weight is 4.8 lbs so it needs to take 17,150 lbs of force to better the first design.
