Basswood Products - Wood for Carving, Pyrography, Woodburning and Other Crafts
Fine basswood plaques, rounds, napkin holders, boxes and other wood products for pyrography, relief carving and other crafts
I remember when I first started woodburning I could not find good quality wood for burning and I was not happy with the quality of the wood products found in most craft stores.
Al started making wood blanks for me. I am now offering them to our customers.
About the wood products I carry
Italian Poplar plywood is a plywood imported from Italy. It is normally cream colored with a very fine grain. It is generally used for woodburning, airplane kits and scroll saw projects.
Over the years the Italian Poplar coming into this country has fluctuated in quality. For years the Italian Poplar was clear and beautiful. Several years ago the sheets being imported were heavily spalted (black marks) and we decided to stop selling it. About 4 years ago we found a distributor who carried Italian Poplar and they agreed to let us go through the sheets to pick out the sheets we wanted. It was a very time consuming process but we were able to ensure the best quality. The last few orders that came in were badly spalted and knotted so we refused them.
Normally dealers order the sheets and they are delivered without anyone looking at them. They cut them and turn around selling them as is regardless of the quality. I don't do business like that and I personally won't settle for mediocre which is why we inspected each and every sheet before accepting delivery. It's very time consuming and lately not very satisfying. While other dealers are willing to accept whatever they get, we won't. We're not in business to sell products that are inferior quality just to make money. Rather than going through this frustration with every order we have decided to discontinue Italian Poplar permanently once our inventory is gone.
I apologize for this inconvenience but we refuse to sell inferior quality products.
