Bonnie S on Aug 28, 2016
Is the wood treated? I'm looking for wood that would be safe to make a toy for a two year old child.
Matt C on Nov 3, 2015
BEST ANSWER: this box of basswood is not treated! The box has great selections of various sizes. Most of the pieces are fairly smooth, but is is all natural, nothing treated. Will most likely purchase another box in the near future. I just started doing some wood carving. This wood would definitely be okay for toy making.
I need 4"×14" and30" long
Danny J on Feb 15, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The assortment from Rockler varies from shipment to shipment. The 20 lb. assortment is a great deal and I order three to four boxes a year, but it is unlikely that you will get the size that you have specified. You may have to order from a vendor that carries basswood and will do special orders. You can check online for vendors. You might also check to see if there is a woodcarving club in your local area and contact them for a basswood source. Lot of times those guys have some private stock or know of sources. Woodcarvers are usually very helpful.
Are these blocks faced on 4 sides?
Deborah B on Nov 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: There was a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Some were S4S, but there were a few with bark left on one surface. I guess it's like a box of chocolates..........

However, it does give a lot of material to work with. Let your creativity out!

The wood arrived promptly and I was quite surprised at the quality of the wood. The pieces were quite large and assorted. They arrived just in time for the winter carving season.

This assortment of Basswood has always worked for me . The price is as good as it gets as I have ordered from others for much more with the same or lesser quality. Thanks.
May 21, 2012
Sometime next month I will probably repeat my order for the 20 lb box of bass wood. As a 79.7 year old beginner at this wood carving game, I am totally enjoying the thrill of it all. The idea of just picking up a chunk of wood and a whittling knife; having absolutely no idea where I'm heading or what the final outcome will be is mind-blowing at the very least. My family has begun showing me pictures of nursing homes with some old guys whittling on the front porches. Hmm

Basswood 20lb assortment
I have purchased a lot of these assortments and recommend them to my beginning carving students as a low entry expense way to practice their carving. A knife, a safety glove and a 20 lb assortment and they are ready to go. I have found some real gems in some of the boxes which make the purchase a real value. Most of my carvings are small like santas and ornaments. Recently have been resawing some of the pieces for woodburning and chipcarving blanks, that works great too. Combine the internet price with free shipping and you have a great deal.

Essential for a beginner
Not only was there a good assortment of carving blanks, but the basswood was virtually knot and blemish free. The price is unmatched for the quantity you receive. The assortment provides a lot of stimulation for the carver's imagination and
enough blanks to practice cuts. If I had little kids, the blanks
would make an excellent set of blocks.
