General Characteristics
Basswood is very light in weight and roughly half the density of Oak.
It is known for its workability and is often used in place of, or in conjunction with, Hard & Soft Maple and Birch due to its creamy white appearance.
Typical Applications
Basswood is very desirable among carvers and turners. It is used extensively in the production of moulding and in the construction of cabinetry. Basswood is also a very popular choice in the interior shutter industry for both paint-grade and stain-grade applications.
