I’ve used basswood before and it’s my favorite. This stuff however was horrible. There were multiple splits and knots as well as the wood coming off in chunks rather than slices. One pull and a section would splinter off. Same with the cherry and walnut. Buy better quality basswood blocks and make your own spoon blanks.

This spoon blank is great for a beginner whitteler/ carver. The wood is soft and easy to carve. I was able toHold the blank with out difficulty. Having the blank shaped as the spoon gave me the general idea of how I needed to carve the bowl . Plus the price was really good for the package of 2 blanks

Bought these carving blanks for my husband. The photos show his first attempts at spoon carving. I am delighted with th results! He actually watched several YouTube videos and has carved three spoons. He likes the basswood as it is quite easy to carve and softer than other woods. He is very happy with the outcome as well.

I liked the variety of wood. I bought because my sister ask me to make herr a spoon and since I had never made one thought a blank would be helpful.

Very nice. They're very thick. I cut one in half lengthwise to make two regular shallow stirring spoons. I've started the other to make a deeper bowled, decorative spoon.

Nice soft wood for carving. These are thick enough for correcting many errors. I actually cut each in half to make four spoons.

One spoon has a deep place on it that must be whittled out. Looks lime it’s been hit with a tool. This was a gift and I was embarrassed. Disappointed.
