What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly praise how soft and easy the basswood is to whittle, describing it as a good entry point for new carvers and wood that carves cleanly into shape. The main complaint is size: block dimensions vary piece to piece, which one buyer said made gluing them together harder, and a couple of reviewers wanted larger blocks, one suggesting roughly 1.75 to 2 inches by 4 inches, rather than the smaller pieces included.
