Reviews for Basswood 8/4 Lumber

I think the extreme creativity that you have shown in your notification is a good match for my own rampant personality. I've not yet had the time to do my relief, but the pieces look very nice!

I was a little disappointed with the basswood. I used it for building a guitar and wanted to do a clear stain but the wood had a lot of color imperfections and water marks. Ended up having to paint it. Other than that it was good with no cracks or breaks. It was also easy to work with.

Excellent for carving

I have placed two orders, one for 8/4 cherry the second for 8/4 basswood. Both were delivered in a timely manner and the products were more than satisfactory. I have placed a 3rd order for 1/2" cherry and I expect this will also be of similar quality. Prices were competitive and when I called the company with questions they were both congenial and helpful.

These guys took time to help guide me through my order (I'm a noobie) and when the wood showed up it was packaged properly and the grade was suburb.

I use this for basswood carvings. Good wood.

The basswood I received is perfect in every way, clear, straight and true. It arrived on time, expertly packaged and exactly as specified in the order.

Order was prepared precisely to my specifications, packed very well, and arrived timely without damage. The stock was 95% clear throughout, and I had no trouble avoiding the imperfections. I use a CNC machine to 3D carve solid bodies (eg, models), and this was the first time using this species. Probably not best for this purpose. 1. It is a bit fibrous, clogging up the router vacuum. 2. It leaves a furry finished surface in some grain bands.

Beautiful piece of basswood! Perfectly cut with No blemishes!

This Basswood is excellent for carvings.

Delivered as described and as promised. A quality piece of wood. In future however I would opt for a slightly harder species with more pronounced grain. Easy to work with though.

I asked for a blemish free, 8/4 chunk of Basswood for a guitar body, and that's what I got. Dare I say, it was perfect. There was a slight delay in receiving the shipment because of the unusual parameters I requested, but Michael personally called me to discuss accommodating my requests. The wait was well worth it, and the customer service is unparalleled. Great company.

Basswood material for a pizza peel. The material was a very good clear piece, sized and milled as ordered.

The wood arrived as ordered, and is free of defects, with no warping. Better than other mail-order basswood.

Top notch! Better than I had expected!

Ordered this 6' X 8" 8/4 board while vacationiNg in Florida. It will eventually be a carved, gold leaf "weatherboard" for our home in Cape Cod. Very good quality, just what I orderEd and quick service.

Generally very good selection of boards by your staff. Internal stress is hard to spot without opening up the board. A couple of these boards bowed when I ripped them to 1-inch pieces (I build gallery picture frames with the basswood) but luckily I was able to use the badly bowed pieces for shorter segments, thus minimizing the bow. So aside from some difficulty milling the profiles, it all worked out okay. A little spalting too but not a problem.

Excellent ...and I love your shipping info letter...great job!!
