Perfect, no knot, soft carving wood!

Great knotless soft wood for small carving projects. I bought this as a gift for my husband who whittles away all the time and he loves them!

Part of a Christmas gift for 8 y.o grandchild.

Product arrived as promised, nicely packaged and undamaged. This product will be accompanied by a multi function pocked knife and a child size protective pair of gloves. Intro to whittling..

An Honest, Objective Review

First, let me start with my preconceptions: * I swear I saw somewhere that each set of blocks was 20lbs, which is why I was so excited and bought two. Seemed too good to be true. Should have known better. That's on me. * Based on that, I expected large blocks. I also expected a total of 40lbs of wood, so that belief kind of makes sense. * The description indicates that there are "absolutely no knots." You can see a few from my images, in 3 of the 10 blocks. Here are some realities: * The images of the product show me the dimensions of each block. I should have been able to tell that there would NOT be 40lbs of wood. * The wood is still quite high quality. Despite those "knots" I think I am being a little unreasonable in my expectations. Those are surface knots (or just minor imperfections), and I can definitely cut them out. * I have yet to even cut into one of these blocks. I was so shocked by the size that I am writing a review before I do. After I do, I will write another review. * I am not a Master of the art of whittling. I'm very much a beginner. These blocks are actually pretty great for me - and there is no way I could personally cut the blocks to this size for practicing. * Delivery was a day late - but it was really more like 10 hours late (was supposed to be here last night by 9pm, but it arrived early this morning). I don't blame that on the shipper, though, so much as whatever company delivered it. And it was still within what I would consider a very reasonable shipping window. So... no fault there really. * The size consistency is actually rather shocking. They aren't perfect, but I don't expect wood so perfect I don't want to carve it. I'm impressed. * The packaging is quite nice, even after shipping. The block sets are definitely gift-worthy. Additional Thoughts: * These blocks are worth every cent I paid for them. I'll likely buy a few more sets. Now that I know they are rather small, my expectations are realigned. I like these things. * To me, the phrase "Complete Whittling Kit" should contain a knife. I'd recommend modifying that wording. * There are way too many capital letters in the description. Drives me nuts. But that is just me. I still bought two of them, so maybe the description is perfect. * Another image that shows a size comparison of the whole set against something else would be nice, but to be fair the information is there. Alright, that's enough explanation I think. In summation, I love these kits and thinking I was getting a bunch of wood is really on me. The quality is quite good, the sizes are fantastic, and the price point isn't very high for what I received. I can't hold the size being smaller than expected against the seller. I apologize for being long winded. It is who I am =).

Great service with a quality product.

I liked the product. It was exactly what you advertised. I have a 49 year old son who has a mental disorder and needed a craft to improve his concentration skills. He loves it and in Christmas day brought a smile on his face from one ear to ear. I'm retired and I spend alot of time helping my stepson learn basic skills and coordination. He is supervised when he works on his whittling projects and has already made advancements in his techniques and safety skills. Thank you Sincerely Robert Roemer

Great practice wood

Nice wood for practice. Carves very easily and lightly grained. They are small, but you can practice without wasting a bunch of wood. I’m happy.

Great kit—no complaints!

I’m a beginner at whittling and this kit was the perfect little starter pack. The wood was in great shape and I’ve already carved a little bear and a fox out of the smaller pieces! Would buy again or recommend for anyone dipping their toes into the carving world.

Highly recommend this product

Excellent wood for carving. An you can glue multiple pieces together for a larger piece. Like a block or flat piece. It's a nice wood not to hard or soft. An it's very therapeutic and with keeping your blades an carving tools sharp you will have endless hours of enjoyable wood projects.

Whittle away the stress

This is a wonderful jobby in today’s high tech, anxious world. It requires practice and patience to become skilled at this but this starter kit is a great beginning. I bought this for my daughter who’s a single mother so that she would have a focused anxiety free pass time. She loves it.

It's a good value and product

I'm planing on teaching some friends some beginners, this weekend

Great product

I am very new to whittling/carving and this basswood is just right. Great service also.
