The best wood for carving!

Choose from 2 different sizes of our 8/4 Basswood Rough Cut Lumber Packs; 10 Board feet or 20 Board Feet. We will carefully handpick an assortment of boards in the pack size of your choice.

What should I expect in my Lumber Pack?

10 Board Feet

• Approximately 2-3 boards*
• 4" to 8" widths
• 48" lengths

20 Board Feet

• Approximately 5-6 boards*
• 4" to 8" widths
• 48" lengths

Although these boards have been skipped dressed to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our S4S Basswood Lumber.

*We always try to include the widest boards we have available at the time that meet the Rough Cut Lumber Pack specifications. Approximate board count is based on an average size of 6" x 48". Actual amount of boards will vary depending on widths available at time of fulfillment. Have a question? Send us an Email.

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 colour 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 4/4 boards are great for chip/relief carving.
