my husband said that on the woodmaker forum, they have mentioned this  
before and sometimes pallets from Asia are mahongany and other great  
woods too!

  liz  from the Linden Tree Coffeehouse,  whose UU Church has a huge  
Linden Tree in front of it,  and I'm told Linden is another name for  
basswood.

Lawn tractors will be pouring into stores after the first of the year.
    They arrive on pallets often made out of basswood.  Especially
Sears.   So......they usually just trash these pallets and you can get
good basswood to make shoes, hands, legs, arms, bodies and heads.
Many boards are flat and some are long 2" X 2" pieces which are great
for large legs.  Check the backs of stores for pallets awaiting the
trash truck.   Treasures are there for puppetry materials.
