Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockler Basswood Carving Blank Assortment, 20 lbs.
Customer Review: Better Have a Bandsaw/Tablesaw
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me get one thing out of the way first. The quality of the wood is excellent. In the shipment that I received, the wood was clear, with only one or two pieces showing minor edge defects. With few exceptions, it was finished on all sides.
Now why, if I'm so happy with it, did I only give it 4 stars? The reason is very simple. Unless you usually carve using large blocks of wood, you'd better have a way to cut it down into thinner pieces. Except for one small board (and I'm reaching by calling it a board) this "assortment" contains nothing but fairly large blocks.
So, if you want to use the wood for carving plaques or other items requiring 3/4" or thinner wood, you're going to have to saw this stuff down. To do so accurately, you will need a bandsaw or a table saw.
Again, although this is a very good value (it's actually cheaper from Rockler) be aware that you might not be able to use it for general carving without some prep work.
