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.

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!
I ordered 2x2x6” basswood blocks and the 4x6x18” blocks. They arrived quickly and they look great. It cuts nice and holds detail as expected. I would certainly recommend these products.
Service was fast and is nice white wood
a very nice piece of wood . Cuts nice with slight tear outs. sands well and finishes very nice. will buy again.
straight and true. First time using Iroko. Outdoor mostly sheltered area.Not Teak but still quite pricey. KJP is a great company to deal with, like a candy store for wood
Not impressed with the shipment I received, the 12x12 was not 12x12, off an 1/8 to a 3/16 on both sides and the peices were very warped and not flat
