I've linked with Woodcarvers Warehouse. Their Basswood is the world's best in my opinion. I use it exclusively in all my whittling projects and know you will like it too. They have the 1"X1"X18" Basswood in stock which I use to whittle the whimsies shown in my book, How to Whittle the Whimsies of Yesterday. With my book and their Basswood you can turn out whimsies that will be the envy of all your friends.
