🪵 ATTENTION ST. LOUIS AREA WOOD CARVERS

If you carve, you know how important it is to start with the right wood. We’ve just resupplied our Basswood, a favorite among wood carvers for its fine, even grain, workability, and ability to hold detail.

Available now:

🪵 4/4 Basswood — $5.23/board foot
🪵 8/4 Basswood — $6.50/board foot

Whether you’re carving figures, signs, reliefs, ornaments, decoys, or your next one-of-a-kind project, stop by and pick out the boards yourself.

Make the drive up the Great River Road to Grafton and check out our hardwood selection while you’re here. We carry domestic and exotic hardwoods, live-edge slabs, turning stock, project pieces, and more.
