| | Re: Buying Basswood! I have bought from several different places. By far the best most consistent wood is from Heineke wood. http://www.heineckewood.com/index.htm
No association with them but I was tired of getting what you pay for..... Hard wood or like my last carving, wood that splits in two right after the carving was finished. ![001[1]3424](http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/images/smilies/001[1]3424.gif) |

I was reading your link and saw some of your work and it is very good. I see you were also born in 59, What a great year. And also you have a weiner dog. Ours is about three and she has been the best dog we had ever had. I am in the middle of carving a weiner dog. Winter is coing back to the Northeast so I better go get the snow shovels out again. Thanks for your reply on the basswood. Take care!

I have bought basswood from http://www.hummul.com/ It has been beautiful wood, easy to carve and the price was very good.
