Physical Characteristics

Basswood is a soft, lightweight wood, pale in color, with fine close grain. It is usually free of large knots. Our Basswood hardwood comes from within about a 100-mile radius (62 km) of our manufacturing facilities. The light density of basswood lumber makes it well suited for woodenware, crates, blinds, and internal furniture parts. Easy to work with hand tools, kiln-dried basswood is often used for wooden carving. In mouldings and many other applications, it can be used as a substitute for aspen or poplar.
