| | Load of Northern Basswood The UPS man delivered 2 50+ lb boxes of good white Heinecke Northern Basswood,now I can get going on some competition pieces,if y'all have never tried Heinecke's wood,you can use a butter knife to carve it. |

| | Re: Load of Northern Basswood Wish you had posted that sooner, I would have saved a lot of money by buying butter knives instead of expensive carving knives.
Their wood can't be beat. |

| | Re: Load of Northern Basswood Anything has got to be softer than the piece of 2"x2"x4" mulberry I am trying to whittle. It's heavy and hard. One small cut and I have to sharpen my blades. I may toss it in the fire? My friend cut this huge tree down over two years ago. I thought it would be nice to carve but it is too hard.

| | Re: Load of Northern Basswood I haven't bought anything other than Heinecke wood for over 15 years now.
If I need a big 6" x 6" piece, Dale glues two 3" x 6" pieces (both 48" long, of course, just what I want) and they are PERFECT--- absolutely perfect. |

| | Re: Load of Northern Basswood Got my Heinecke wood in my hands at all times. They are the only supplier i'll use. They have the best prices and choices cuts, not to forget too that they'll work with you.
