Basswood

This soft wood presents a straight grain and a fine, even texture.

The homogenous structure makes this wood moderately heavy.

The main colour is a soft yellowish cream that turns to a yellowish brown until it reaches a light brown thanks to seasoning.

European basswood, known for its fine grain and soft texture, is generally employed in high-quality carvings and musical instruments like piano keys and guitar bodies.

In furniture, it’s favoured for lightweight yet sturdy pieces, including chairs and cabinets, thanks to its ease of working. Basswood’s stability makes it ideal for veneer and plywood, while its fine finish suits mouldings, millwork and interior joinery, including door and window frames.

It’s also used in non-toxic toys and model making. Basswood’s light weight and strength make it ideal for boxes and crates, and its smooth surface is essential for drawing boards and drafting tables.
