Walnut Hollow Basswood Carving Block, 1.75" x 1.75" x 10"

Teaching my son to carve and this wood was perfect. Used it to make an ancient ship and it carved great. No flaws. Great piece of wood.

It's pretty small but you can carve a variety of things using this wood. I was using this wood in order to practice wood carving. It was difficult at first but I ordered 5 pieces of this wood and non of them came with any major discrepancies. All the same size as well.

My wife wanted to learn how to whittle so I bought this along with a knife. So far she has really enjoyed it and it seems to be a good piece to learn on, and I'm sure it would be great for experienced carvers too.

Nice piece of basswood very nice size and is cured well No cracks or wet wood . Is as described Would have preferred a 2in X 12in It's on the pricey side, but overall very nice piece for carving

Basswood species may vary by the state or country. I found this product true to its description and will reorder

It's wood :) I use it to practice wood carving and it works perfectly - not too soft and not too hard, great as a starter experimental carving block.

As always, Walnut Hollow Basswood is consistently clean, dry, and ready to carve. Ordering Walnut Hollow Basswood Carving Blocks on Amazon is a reliable source of basswood for carvers if you do not have a local supply. The price is more than you can get if you DO have a local supply, but it is still very reasonable for those who don't.

Bought this wood to use for Cub Scout projects. We had never carved with wood, so perhaps I'm not expert enough to provide a good review. But this stuff was so impossible to use in carving that the kids were miserable. It was a miracle that they all ended the evening without any cuts. It's beautiful but we could hardly get any wood shavings off of it, let alone make stop cuts or come close to achieving the desired shapes.
