S4S Basswood Lumber
The best wood for carving!
Basswood has a beautiful creamy colour that can range from pale white to light brown with no clear division between heart and sap wood. The face grain of the wood is the most uniform in color and the grain is fine and straight.
Working with Basswood is an absolute joy. It cuts like a hot knife through butter and despite being soft, it holds detail extremely well. Check out our Basswood Carving Blocks if you are looking for something a little thicker. Otherwise these boards are great for chip/relief carving.
Bonus? It's also perfect for using with the Cricut!
If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut Basswood Lumber for a more budget friendly version.
