Worked Great for Cricut Pen Holder Project
I created a rectangular box with slots to hold my Cricut pens and markers using the basswood 11x11. I set up the size I wanted in Design Space and my Cricut Maker cut it to exact size without any issues. No breaking or splitting!! I was beyond thrilled! It’s also stackable so I can make others to accommodate pens coming in the future. Thank you, Cricut!!

My project turned out great but I had the added expense of replacing my mat.
I did my best to measure the thickness of the basswood as the package did not provide this information. The program said 14 passes so I trusted it. Ruined my mat.
I wanted to make another one but this time I stood over it, paused to check the cut and found it only took 5 passes to cut through.
Please include the thickness of the materials in the descriptions.

I expected better
The pros:
Firstly, the item arrived in excellent order and was delivered very quickly.
Each package contained four pieces of 1/16th thick 6 x 12 inches basswood, nicely sanded and finished.
The cons:
Each piece is actually more than one piece glued together, this results in a dramatic change of grain across the piece.
The other issue is that this method of making the sheets leaves very noticeable glue lines; if the wood is colored with any kind of stain or dye, these glue lines become very apparent and somewhat spoil the appearance of the item.
The overall quality is good, but the glue lines and change of grain make them less than ideal if appearance is important to you.

unable to use it
I bought this item to make the dinosaur project featured in design space. The pieces are too small to accommodate the pattern that it is designed to go with and the project is not editable so I cannot move the pieces to different pads. So I decided to make some little wooden animals for my grandson but the packaging doesn't tell the thickness so I cannot use it. I need to know if it is 1/16 or 1/32 but that info is not available. I gave it 3 stars because it does appear to be good quality.

Breaks way too easily
I was so excited to make my neices some name tags for their gifts, but I literally burnt through 8 peices of basswood (two cricut packages) just to get the two made somewhat decent. I still had to glue three parts back together. It just breaks too easily to make it worth it. Waste of money unless you to simple thick designs. Not meant for anything fancy at all.

Don’t bother if you have a Maker 3
The machine shreds this stuff like cheddar cheese on a taco. And yes, I used the right mat, with tape on all four side, with a calibrated knife blade and I have yet to get one clean cut out of this wood with the Maker 3. So either the machine is faulty (read the reviews for the Maker 3, it’s not winning any innovation awards for sure) or/and the wood is crap. Feels like the whole “Cricut cuts wood” claim is a total lie.
And don’t bother trying other brand woods either, the machine just doesn’t cut it.

Maker issues
The wood looked nice, but unfortunately my maker would not cut it. I contacted customer service and they were not helpful.
