Basswood Lumber Carving Blocks – 4″ x 6″ (1Pc)

Need a block for a little hand-carved bird or a relief panel? This basswood carving block gives you room to start. It is one piece sized 4 inches by 6 inches, so you can rough out a shape and still have wood to spare. Basswood is the wood most carvers reach for first because it is soft and easy to cut.

The grain is fine and even, with very few knots to fight. A sharp knife or chisel glides through it and leaves clean walls, even on small detail cuts. It holds a crisp edge well, so spoons, faces, and fish all keep their shape.

• Size 4 inches by 6 inches
• 1 piece per order
• Soft, even-grained basswood
• Great for hand carving and whittling

The wood is pale cream in color and almost smooth to the touch. Once you sand and finish a carved piece, it feels soft and warm in the hand and takes paint or stain without blotching.
