BASSWOOD
Linden timber is soft and easily worked, so it is a popular wood for intricate carving and model building. It can be sanded very smooth, and is resistant to warping once seasoned.It is known in the wood trade as basswood, particularly in North America, from the inner fibrous bark of the tree, known as bast (Old English). Basswood is also frequently used as a material for electric guitar bodies, recorders and drum shells. It's the wood most used for window blinds and shutters, since it is lightweight and strong.
Despite the wide selection of shutter window treatment materials in the market today, choosing the perfect form for your home or office does not need to be difficult.
