I bought the basswood for my craft table, then spent two calm evenings turning pieces into painted birds

Good sizes for my pocket knife practice

I sent this wood to my retired dad, and he called me that night excited about making tiny animals again

I made simple woodland figures for my mantel, and the smooth surface made painting the faces much easier

My brother wanted to try whittling, so I gave him these blocks and kept a few for myself

My dad liked these for tiny ornaments

The blocks were easy for me to hold while learning cuts, and I finished a small bear before dinner

Nice blocks, my nephew enjoyed carving them

Easy wood for my first carving night

Cut smoothly during my rainy afternoon project
