Basswood

The basswood, or linden, has a wide distribution in the eastern half of North America from the Canadian provinces south through the United States. It has a wide sapwood that appears creamy white or pale brown that merges into the heartwood that is pale yellowish-brown with darker streaks.

Basswood is soft and light with a fine, even texture and a straight grain. This makes it an especially good wood for hand carving as it is easy to work and not prone to tear out. It is also an excellent choice for use in saunas. It is the least allergenic wood in North America. So safe, in fact, that it is used for tongue depressors and popsicle sticks. It is also used in venetian blinds, sashes and door frames, mouldings, and apiary supplies.
