Great set in crafting

This is a great starter set - basswood is of a very high quality which makes it a pleasure to carve. Highly recommended for beginners and experienced carvers. I need to find out if this company sells wood in large blocks for larger pieces but I would definitely buy again and recommend to any beginner or experienced carver!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Disappear

Expensive for what you get

There was a chisel (cut) in one place and a tiny hole from a worm in the other. The hole is hardly worth mentioning as it didn't affect the threads, but inspection rendered this part non-functional and it ended up in the trash. The price is also very high for what you get, especially if you are new to carving and need practice sticks to learn. I will not buy this item again.

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Ideal for carving raw wood

Overall this is a great set. The included wooden pieces are perfect for a variety of projects. The quality of the wood was excellent.

This is good stuff. You will…

Pros
  • Unfinished wood
Cons
  • Not sure

Honest, Unbiased Review

First, let me start with my prejudices:* I swear I saw somewhere that each set of blocks weighed 20 pounds so I got so excited and bought two. Looked too good to be true. Should have known better. It's up to me*. Based on that, I expected big blocks. I also expected 40 pounds of wood total, so that assumption makes sense*. The description states that "absolutely no knots". You can see some of my paintings in 3 out of 10 blocks. Here are some facts: * Product images show me the dimensions of…

  • Strength
