Kiln Dried Basswood
Basswood (Tilia americana) is a lightweight, soft hardwood prized for its uniform texture and exceptional ease of work. The wood is typically pale cream to light tan in color with a very subtle grain, giving it a clean, understated appearance.
Basswood turns and carves extremely easily, making it an excellent choice for beginners as well as for detailed work. It cuts smoothly with minimal tool resistance, holds fine detail, and sands quickly. While not as hard or durable as many hardwoods, properly dried basswood offers good stability for light-duty turning and decorative projects.
Common uses include turning blanks, carving, spindles, ornaments, models, and craft projects.
Please note: Kiln-dried woods may vary in thickness by up to 1/4", but will usually be only 1/8" undersized due to surfacing.
