Default Basswood for cabinets?



"JayPique" wrote in message

Anyone used basswood to make cabinet doors? How does it compare to ewp? to
popar? Is it expensive? I was in a shop last week that used it and touted
the stability of it. I've no experience myself, so I was just wondering
what anyone else thought of it.
Thanks.

Never used it for anything but carving. Easy to work but it is so soft you
can dent it with your thumb. Pine would much more durable.
