Review on Start Whittling Today With Kingcraft'S 12 Pack Of Soft Solid Baswood Carving Blocks - Perfect For Beginners And Kids! by Demond Clenney

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Quality can vary wildly from block to block

Got this as the first pack of wood I've ever carved and the first 1x1x4 block was perfect, smooth to cut and never splintered.

The second block was a nightmare, with gray splotches and old wood grain throughout, so it splintered chunks off like crazy and was so hard that I wondered if my new knives were also junk.I have 10 other blocks that may or may not be as advertised, but if I'd randomly pulled that second block for my first project I'd have genuinely given up on this hobby in about an hour.*Updated tally now that I've worked with each block: 3 were good, 3 were iffy, and 6 were simply bad, including both large pieces.

Pros
  • Thos is a good set, however, the wood was not as soft as it claimed. But soft enough.
Cons
  • Junk, full of knots.
