Bass Strip
SLEC Bass Strip is premium-quality basswood, valued for its fine, even grain, smooth finish and excellent machining properties. Offering an ideal balance of strength, stability and lightweight performance, it is a popular choice for model makers, wood carvers and hobbyists.
Basswood is easy to cut, sand, carve and shape while providing greater strength and durability than balsa. It is ideal for longerons, framework, edging, structural components and detailed modelling where accuracy and a smooth finish are important.
Each strip is accurately machined from quality basswood to provide consistent dimensions throughout its length. Available in a comprehensive range of sizes, SLEC Bass Strip is suitable for model aircraft, model boats, architectural models, wood carving and many other woodworking applications.
