Basswood (Tliai americana) is fine, straight grain material with an even texture and little contrast between early and late wood. Creamy white in color and lighter in weight than the related European Lime. Easy to work, being very soft and light. Perhaps one of the most suitable wood species for hand carving. For the true woodworker, there is nothing more important than creating a project from the right wood stock. Common uses of include carvings, lumber, musical instruments (electric guitar bodies), veneer, plywood, and wood pulp and fiber products.
