When carving and planing, the straight grain brings no surprises.

This is a really good product. Straight fibers, finely serrated, without knots. For those who do not understand how much a linden tree costs, I added a photo of myself to help. The round metal on a piece of wood is a quarter of a US dollar. A standard sized can for a vending machine. The word "large" in the product description is misleading for those just starting out in buying basswood.

Pros
  • Woodwork
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Kind of a disappointment

I am new to planing/carving and thought it would be best if I used a suitable wood for this activity so I ordered this one. I had to save money, go to Laws and buy a piece of white pine. This is what it looks like, this is how it smells and this is how it cuts. If it's a typical basswood, it's good for carving, but WAY overpriced. For now I'm sticking with White Pine.

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Dear

Perfect fit for me.

The package was a little smaller than I expected based on the description of "Big Linden". However, the blocks were the perfect shape for what I wanted. I bought another pack from a large hobby chain and found that some of the blocks were square like toy blocks. I was more interested in something long and thin for small figures, and this pack is full of them. I will definitely buy more of these. The wood cut very smoothly.

Pros
  • Untreated wood
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
