Basswood Carving Block 100×50×50 mm: Room for Figures With Volume and Character
When a small block starts to feel too tight for your ideas, it’s time to size up. The STRYI 100×50×50 mm basswood block has twice the cross-section width of a classic 25×25 mm block and four times the volume, giving you room for a full figure with a turned head, folds of clothing and an expressive face, not just a silhouette. Basswood cuts softly and predictably, so even deep cuts and large waste areas come away with little effort.
Why Buy Your Basswood Block From Us
We work with woodcarving tools and choose our blocks the way we’d choose them for ourselves: straight faces, true corners and even wood with no knots or cracks. That matters even more with a larger block, since a hidden flaw can show up halfway through a project. The square 50×50 mm cross-section lets you lay out your figure on all four sides and keep proportions under control. At stameski.com you can add gouges, knives and finishing products to the same order.
Who This 100×50×50 mm Basswood Block Is For

- Anyone learning to carve faces, heads and portraits
- Caricature and fairy-tale character carvers
- Fans of traditional figure carving and sculptural woodcarving
- Teachers guiding students from simple shapes to complex forms
- A gift for a carver who needs more substantial material
What to Make and How to Use This Basswood Carving Block
A 100×50×50 mm block is ideal for owls, cats, bears and other seated animals; gnomes, monks, fishermen and other caricature-style characters; busts and practice heads for face carving; large chess pieces; and small figurative stands or keepsakes. Start by sketching the design in pencil from the front, side and top. Remove large waste with a saw or a sweep gouge, shape the proportions with a sloyd knife, then refine eyes, hair and folds with a detail knife. Carve with the grain and check symmetry by turning the block in your hand. Leave the finished piece natural, finish it with oil or wax, tone it or paint it with acrylics.
