Basswood Lumber
Basswood lumber is a popular choice for woodworkers because it is lightweight, soft, and easy to work with. It has a fine, even texture and a creamy white color, making it ideal for various projects.
Basswood is known for its smooth texture and closed grain, which makes it a top choice for carving. It is not as strong as some hardwoods, but its workability makes it a favourite for intricate designs and projects where weight is a concern.
