I read up some on Basswood (Linden) here: http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/sto...ml&catref=wd12 What do you plug gurus think? Is it good for plugs? Seems it would be, says it doesn't split, is good turning, etc etc.... Here's a FREE tree for the taking once the gent cuts it down! Store the wood, and you're all set forever  http://providence.craigslist.org/zip/263743714.html

| We make CO2 cars in my transportation class out of Basswood and the stuff shapes great. My kids are working on them right now.

| Basswood (American Linden) is a great wood to work with. It's used in many carvings. Finishes nicely, hard etc etc.
