Midwest Basswood Strip (1/2x3x24")

Wood Strip Overview:

The Midwest Basswood Strip is a 1/2x3x24-inch piece of high-quality basswood sourced from tree plantations in Northern Michigan and Wisconsin. Basswood is well known among hobbyists for being easy to cut, shape, and finish, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of craft, modeling, and miniature projects. Its close, even grain gives it a smooth working surface that responds well to hand tools and sanding, and the consistent texture helps produce clean, predictable results.
