[Woodcarver] Bandsaw blades

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Jeff,

I have an old 12-inch Sears Craftsman band saw. For all my cutting, from thick oak, walnut and basswood to thin stock I always use 1/4 inch wide skip tooth blades (4 teeth per inch I think) or 6 tooth if I can't get skip tooth.

  Carving friends,

      I need to replace my bandsaw blade and would like to know what would be best for cutting up Basswood and making roughouts.
      Suggestions and sources are welcomed
