WOWOSS 8 Pack Unfinished Basswood Carving Blocks Kit, Premium Kiln Dried Whittling Soft Wood Carving Block Hobby Set for Kids Adults Beginner to Expert

Nice 10 inch wood discs for crafts, great value for 12 of them. I have photos of the first project I completed. I also purchased (separately) stencils of sacred geometry to make my own crystal grid designs on these wood discs. I did not treat them with anything before doing my projects. I used a sharpie magic marker to create these designs, using the stencils. I have a close-up of a green one I did, the marker was wetter than others, caused a bit of 'bleeding' into the wood grains, still ok for me. The 3rd photo shows a pencil drawn design using the stencils. These discs are great, I will be ordering more of them, a great value for the money, many applications. I also plan to use them for some wood burning projects in the future. The last photo shows the thickness of the discs. They are really quite sturdy for the thickness that they are. They are all perfectly flat. Don't know if they would warp if exposed to a lot of moisture! I plan to seal my projects to prevent that mishap. They are indoor use only, may even de-laminate with moisture. The wood is clear of grain, very slight small wood markings on both sides of the wood, high quality in my opinion. These would make a great gift for the 'crafty' person.

I've purchased these twice now, and I bet I will again next year. They are perfect for crafts or for DIY ornaments. My daughter and I applied glitter glue to them and gave them to her classmates for holiday treat exchange. I've also given them to guests as holiday party favors.The wood is sometimes not perfectly cut, and an end may have a bump or a groove, but that's to be expected with this kind of thing. None of them were broken, either time, which I found rather surprising. When buying a lot of a relatively cheap craft item, it is common for there to be a couple of duds. And the variety! 5 each of 10 different designs, some fairly simple, some fairly fancy. Lots of appeal to varying tastes! I personally did not use the provided twine, but now I have a little stash of twine which will come in handy someday.I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to do holiday crafts!

Nice quality of block, smooth. Intend to use for some art projects and they are much nicer than I expected!

These came in great condition and the finish is a lot smoother than I expected! I will be using these in a crochet project and I don't think the yarn I intend to use will get snagged like I thought it would. Took one star off because one of the rings came in broken. The beads were all perfectly fine as well!Also it asked for me to rate these for teething? I'm assuming for a baby and I don't think that a wood ring would be a good idea for a teething baby, nor a small bead.

Cute! Perfect nesting blanks!

These are a great size and very consistent in quality. I’ve laminated stacks of 4 together with wood glue, alternating grain direction as I build my stacks, for several household repair projects when I couldn’t get to a hardware store because of Covid. I’m going to always keep some of these on hand because they come in handy!

Great time use for wooden beads wreath making!

I am new to whittling but have been a woodworker for year so I know a thing or two about wood and tools. I have good Flexcut knives that are honed sharp as scalpels so I know my tools are not the issue. When I started to whittle on the first block from the pack I had to look at the package again because I thought the company had sent me ironwood by mistake. Each piece does have a nice, clean, blemish-free appearance with overall straight vertical grain, but seven of the eight pieces were still tough as nails. I have a very strong grip so I was able to keep a steady but labored pace. I would buy this again simply because it is a nice looking wood, but I would imagine it would be very difficult for some people to work with because of its hardness.
