Where are you in western Wisconsin? My local Rockler store always has a bunch of basswood in a variety of sizes for carving. Are you near any of the Rockler stores in Minnesota?
You can always order it through the mail. Basswood is relatively light.
I order my small pieces of bass wood from Quality Hardwoods in West VA. they have an ebay store and sell in some large lots or small lots. Kiln dried and milled to almost perfect dimensions, which may not matter to you. I make Christmas ornaments and having uniform pieces to put on the lathe makes it easier to make "production runs" of items.
