"Great wood!"
"Just got interested in whittling and this wood is very easy to work with for a first timer."
"It might be less expensive to cut up a big piece or basswood, but these sure are handy to have around when you get the urge to sit down and make some wood chips."
"Gave this as part of a gift for a young whittler."
"Perfect beginner pack to go with the Gimars 12 set of tools I also ordered as stocking stuffers."
"The blocks are slightly small, so unless you want little carvings, yopu should get something bigger."
"Great price, but wish the block dimensions would have been included."
"not walnut too small for making much of anything."

JPSOR 12pcs 3.5"-4" Pure Natural Unfinished Wood Slices DIY Handmade Wedding Craft Ornaments
Our wood slices are pure natural pine slices, and they are only processed. through cutting, grinding, drying in the shade during production, and there is no painting or other anti-corrosion measures, so some wood barks. will fall off, and a small number of wood slices will have spotted surface, and these are also the characteristics of pure natural wood slices. We carefully check the appearance of each slice before shipping, but after a long period of transport, the moisture in the wood will slowly evaporate, so the wood slices gradually lack toughness, and cracking occurs. Wood slices are dried and polished on both sides, so the surface is smooth and the outer edges are wrapped with the bark.

"This is such a fun tool!!"
"but it would be my first time with wood burning so i didnt want to spend a lot of money. when looking at videos of wood artists using more expensive tools i noticed they use a heat resistant glove."
"for other jobs such as soldering, hot-knife cutting, image transfers and stamping, as well as some lead-free solder, which I appreciate since I was shopping for solder at the time, too. To address the complaints mentioned before: Thus far I haven't had a tip break on me and, although it does take a few minutes to heat up, the temperature control has been working perfectly (Or at least, it's been working - It's a yellow-orange-red scale so I'm not sure what the specific temperatures are supposed to be, but it's definitely hotter at red than it is at yellow). I think it could be improved by adding some sort of indicator to tell whether it's on or not, nothing too fancy, just a little LED would do fine, but, again, I'm happy with it."
"Works great."
"With so many different tips to chose from, even someone that's just starting out in this new art will be able to create beautiful results."
"The tips cool down and heat up quickly."
"I've never really used these kinds of crafting tools, however I found myself needing this kind of item for a project."
"It does take a few minutes to heat up, and as you work your way through the foam, it helps to bring the knife completely out of the foam and reheat for a few seconds."
