Density.Basswood is one of the lightest weight hardwoods in North America. Its density is about 25 pounds per cubic foot. A planed piece 3/4-inch thick at 7 percent MC will weigh under 1-1/2 pounds per BF . Density.Basswood dries rapidly with little risk of defect development except for staining. If the logs or lumber are stored for any length of time at temperatures over 50F before drying begins, blue stain or gray stain is very likely.
