In any hobby it is going to be important what it consists of. When you paint, you need to have proper canvas, paints, and brushes. When you dance, you need to have comfortable shoes, a suit or a dress that fits the style and occasion, and so on and so forth. With whittling, it’s no different - quality instruments and wood material, stropping things, a comfortable place to carve, you name it. That’s what makes answering the question of "Where to get basswood for carving?" important. You may not stop on choosing basswood blocks as your final result, surely, however, it will be one of the most appropriate options for newbies for a bunch of reasons that will be described below. Such a kit of 5 wood carving blocks will become a nice gift for yourself, a friend or loved one that enjoys carving or wouldn’t mind taking up a new hobby, maybe for a friendly neighbour you’ve met. That doesn’t change the fact - this set may become a reliable and stable basis for somebody to learn whittling and start experimenting with wood and instruments. Soft wood, in general, and basswood particularly, is a great way to dive into this since it allows for an easier introduction and approach, so it won’t scare anybody off with its possible difficulty.

Carving blocks that you select as a beginner will influence the outcome of your newly taken up hobby quite significantly. Basswood for carving almost has no grain which makes it a perfect candidate for a learning carver - basically, the wood carving blocks of basswood don’t give you resistance while you carve (not nearly as much as any other wood, at least). That’s why softwoods are the priority, mostly, and basswood is the first choice you hear about. It’s pale so you can be as creative as you like, paint it all the colors of rainbow and more and overall use your imagination to its fullest in order to get your project where you want it. It’s not as easy with the dark woods, so if you’d like to use the wood as only the starting material to work on more and make it colourful - that’s basswood, no doubt. It’s also odorless and children-safe, so, basically, it’s a material that can be made into gorgeous children toys, kitchenware and many other things that you’d much rather prefer to be safe, non-allergic and free to use anytime.
