Basswood Lumber Carving Blocks – 3″ x 3″

Want to carve a small bird, a spoon, or a comfort bird to hold in your hand? These basswood carving blocks give you a clean start. Each block is cut to 3 inches by 3 inches, so you have plenty of wood to shape your idea without wasting much.

Basswood is the wood most carvers reach for first. It is soft and light, with a fine, even grain and very few knots. That means your knife glides through it with less push, and your cuts stay crisp. New carvers and skilled hands both like how well it holds fine detail.

• Wood is solid basswood
• Block size is 3 inches by 3 inches
• Sold as a single carving block
• Great for whittling, hand carving, and small figures

The pale, creamy color takes paint, stain, and wood burning with ease. Sand the cut faces and they turn smooth and bright, ready to show off your finished work.
