Lime Carving Blank 12x3x1" (300x75x22mm)

Lime / Linden Carving Blank — 300mm × 75mm × 22mm (approx. 12" × 3" × 1")
Tilia sp.

Lime (also known as Linden) is the traditional choice for European wood carving and has been prized by craftspeople for centuries. Its fine, even grain and creamy white colour make it exceptionally responsive to both hand tools and gouges, allowing for crisp, clean detail with minimal effort. The slim profile of this blank makes it ideal for relief carving, lettering, decorative panels, and shallow sculptural work.

Workability:

• Excellent for hand carving — cuts cleanly in all directions with little resistance.
• Fine, uniform texture holds intricate detail exceptionally well.
• Low blunting effect on tools, making it kind on chisels and gouges.
• Takes paint, stain, gilt, and wax finishes beautifully.
• Glues well and is stable once dried.
