I have a few old paddles made from what seems to be basswood. Much harder than balsa but with a fine pore structure that takes pastes well.

I'm sure Forestry Proff. will stroll by shortly and add...

Balsa does seem to have a unique feel as the paste sinks into it rather than sits closer to the surface as with leather. Slower cutting is a good description and there is less sensation of it...
