[QUOTE="buzz sawyer, post: 8141518, member: 9385"] I've been a member of our local woodcarving group for over 35 years, doing various types of carving primarily in Basswood but also Cherry, Walnut, and Catalpa. I recently obtained a piece of Basswood from our club supply and found it to considerably denser and harder than a piece from a local a Woodcraft store or some air-dried Basswood I already had. I'm sure both examples are Basswood. Just wondered what might account for the difference in hardness - maybe kiln-dried vs air-dried? Has anyone experienced this? [/QUOTE]
