CANUSA Basswood Carving Wood Blocks from Wisconsin USA. Whittling Wood Carving Set Contains Two Large and Eight Small Pieces

Cleanliness is good. Appearance good. Performance good. Versatility good. Easy to use. Smooth.

I am new to wood carving. These are a great price, the grain runs down the wood in the perfect way to whittle and it came WAY earlier than the shipping date. I have made some fantastic progress practicing on these blocks. The size is good to start, not too big, then it also includes a couple bigger blocks to carve figurines! Good buy. Very pleased.

My child wanted to take up whittling so we purchased some tools and this set of wood blocks. The blocks are nice, soft, and easy to carve. My only issue is they are pricey for what they are but it did save a trip to Home Depot which would have ended up costing us much more in random purchases just by walking through the store :-D

I love the smooth carving of Basswood for starters. The way that the wood is cut allows for several projects. My order was PERFECT for getting started practising whittling figurines. My first is a floppy hatted hillbilly. It's not like the pictures but that's what practice is all about. Next order will be 2"x2" as My hands are really large and I need that extra bit. It sure is nice to have a kit when you need to burn time waiting. I put my knife, strop and wood in a shaving bag. Perfect for anything.

Bought this and a whittling set for my 13 year old for Christmas. He's just beginning whittling, and this wood is perfect. Nice size and easy to whittle. He's made a knife and a little trophy.

This basswood package contains some of the nicest basswood I've ever seen, and it's processed beatifully and carves just as well. Granted, I'm a "newbie" at carving, but I've been building wood aircraft models for more than fifty years; my first was a Douglas D-558 kit by Strombecker, so I'm not a "newbie" with wood. You're going to have to look really hard for a better basswood value than this!

This is excellent wood for carving. Clear, even grain throughout. Quality product.

I'm relatively new to woodcarving and wanted basswood that experienced woodcarvers suggest instead of trying to learn using wood I have laying around and getting discouraged at the start. I'm glad I ordered this product. This was well worth the money as the wood's clear and the grain is straight. The wood is easy to carve and the size of the pieces is very manageable. After practicing on a few pieces I got curious and tried carving a piece of clear pine I had laying around....hands down this basswood is the way to go.
