A nice and easy white wood for hand carving! Basswood is an ideal carving wood for both beginners and experienced carvers. It has a smooth, fine grain which allows for detailed carvings.
We will carefully handpick a basswood carving block that is approx 3" x 8"+ x 18" long.

Would prefer 2 x 2 x 8
I was a little disappointed at first when I saw some live edge and a knot in the wood that would mean I would not get 2 of the particular carvings as intended. However, when I found it to be the best wood I’ve ever carved I immediately felt a lot happier. The quality of the basswood you sell is outstanding. I will be ordering more even though not as clear as I had hoped.
Cheers
At first I was a little disappointed. The block of would had a rather large knot in it, which can’t be carved, and some live edge that was not useful for my projects. However, after I started carving with a piece of this wood it is, by far, the best basswood I’ve ever worked with and will buy ALL my basswood from KJP in the future as will my friends. A big thank you to KJP!
Prompt shipping. Well packaged. Happy customer!
Laser cuts through it clean and the colour is great
This batch did not cut out well with my laser, lost quarter of almost every sheet, plenty of waste
