 Basswood Tree. |
 |
The basswood tree that was in my mothers yard since the second age of mankind was split in half in a wind storm, so now I have plenty of basswood and bark.
What can it be used for? Dutchman.

Well i pulled this from the dead, lol.
Basswood is awsome carving wood & isn't cheap.
A small block at Lee Valley sell's for $ 20.00 so to have a whole tree to work with 
If you can harvest it, dry it you could make some good coin from that Dutchman, if you are still around
