Linden
Linden (Tilia sp.), also known as Lime Wood or Basswood, is a traditional European hardwood valued for its fine texture, easy workability, and excellent properties for hand craftsmanship. In Central Europe, linden has a long tradition of use in wood carving, musical instrument making, and decorative wooden objects.
The wood has a light, pale cream to whitish color, sometimes with subtle yellow or pinkish tones. Its grain is typically smooth and understated, allowing the shape and fine details of the finished piece to stand out.
Linden features a fine, uniform structure with no pronounced pores. It cuts, turns, sands, and carves easily, making it especially suitable for detailed handwork. Thanks to its consistent texture and easy machining, it has traditionally been one of the most popular woods for carving and fine craft applications.
Linden is widely appreciated by both beginner and experienced woodcarvers for its stability, clean cutting properties, and ability to hold delicate details.
In this category you will find linden wood suitable for carving, woodturning, model making, decorative objects, wooden jewelry, and other small craft projects.
