Easy to work as it is very soft and light. One of the most suitable wood species for hand carving. Basswood also glues and finishes well, but has poor steam bending and nail holding characteristics. Grain is straight, with a fine, even texture and moderate natural luster.
Basswood has a pale white to light brown color, with sapwood and heartwood sections not clearly defined. Growth rings tend to be subtle, and color is mostly uniform throughout the face grain of the wood. Knots and other defects are uncommon.
Basswood is commonly used for carvings, lumber, musical instruments (electric guitar bodies), veneer, plywood, and wood pulp and fiber products.
