As someone who loves woodworking and crafting I must admit that the Ilauke Basswood Unfinished is fantastic .Using this product, our team found that it was easy to cut, sand, and shape into whatever we desired. It's perfect for any Arts AND Crafts project, especially for those who prefer to stain or paint their projects. The quality of the wood is impressive, and it's relatively affordable for its size. However, the only con I found was that it`s very soft, so it's easy to dent or scratch. OveraSee full review
