Basswood/Lime (Tilia americana) 1' (25mm) carving blanks

Product Description

Grain is straight and pale white to light brown color.  Easy to work, being very soft and light so is ideal for carving or whittling. 

Species in the Tilia genus are usually referred to as either Lime or Linden in Europe, while  in North America it’s most commonly called Basswood.

Basswood is an ideal wood for  many woodcarvers. Its soft, fine, even texture make it easy to work with, while its pale, inconspicuous color doesn’t detract from the carved patterns of the finished product (which also makes it easier to paint and color).
