Practice or Building Boards for Chip Carving

Practice or building boards …made from quality Canadian basswood.

Our Basswood:

All of our basswood comes from kiln dried stock and quality controlled to make sure you get as perfect as Mother Nature can make them. Basswood is pale white to light brown color, with sapwood and heartwood sections not clearly defined.  Growth rings tend to be subtle, and color is mostly uniform throughout the face grain of the wood.  Basswood grain is straight, with a fine, even texture and moderate natural luster.  It is easy to work, being very soft and light.  Perhaps one of the most suitable wood species for hand carving.  Basswood also glues and finishes well, but has poor steam bending and nail holding characteristics.

While our practice boards are great for practicing and trying new designs before putting them on a project …. a lot of our students and customers use them to make boxes and such.
Measure: 4″ X 11″ X 3/8″ .

Available in bundles of 6 boards.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are ordering practice boards only today …it is more economical to order at least 2 bundles.  1 bundle is just under the 2lb shipping rate and adding a second bundle increases shipping only slightly.

NOTE:    There MAY BE additional shipping charges based on weight of your order.  IF there is a difference in shipping charges from that shown on your order – we will email you the cost for approval BEFORE we process your order.
