Live Edge Basswood Boards
Bring the rustic beauty of nature into your next project with our
live edge basswood boards. Each piece is planed on both sides to a
smooth, ready-to-sand and finish surface while preserving the natural
bark edge that gives it authentic, organic character.
Basswood is a naturally white wood with a fine, soft texture, yet it
belongs to the hardwood family—making it both lightweight and easy
to work with. Every board is at least 7/8" thick, though most are
thicker, giving you solid material for carving, furniture accents,
or rustic decor.
Because these boards are milled true to the tree, width may taper
along the length. The width measurement is taken inside the bark and
represents the average width throughout the board. As with all live
edge lumber, the wood continues to move over time. Slight cupping,
end checking, or bark separation may occur, enhancing its natural
character and uniqueness.
These boards create an ideal base for artistic
expression. Their smooth surfaces make them perfect
for laser engraving, pyrography, painting, and framing art. The
absence of knots and fine grain of basswood lend to crisp, detailed
engravings and clean paint application. Artists and crafters
appreciate live edge basswood to create unique artwork.
Availability of individual sizes varies. If we sell out of your
preferred size, please let us know whether that exact size is
critical. If not, we'll happily upgrade you to the next wider size
at no extra cost.
