Basswood
Bass wood is the lightest, softest, and weakest of the hardwoods. It is neither
stiff nor strong, but because
of its even grain, white color, and ease of working it is very widely used.
Twenty-three per cent of the total amount is used for boxes and crates.
Bread boards, butter paddles, ironing boards, washboards, and pails are made
of basswood.
