One of the questions we get asked the most in our shop is:
"What kind of wood do you
carve?" or "What kind of wood is that you are carving?" We
tell them that basswood is the most common wood for carving.
The wood almost has no grain or knots and fairly soft but hard
enough to hold an edge. Basswood (Tilia americana) also called American Lime or Linden Soft creamy white wood that is easy to work and glues into larger block very well. It has no figuring, with a fine straight even grain, the sapwood is almost white. Carves well and is excellent for detail work. Very light weight. It is also called Lin or Limewood. Our basswood is kiln dried and great to carve. There may be variations in the wood but we attempt to send the best wood we have in stock.
