Bingo to what these guys are telling you. It makes great lumber. We used ship-lapped basswood boards to finish one wall of our patio/three-season room. We painted them white and it gave a nice "country" effect. They look great. What you do with it is up to you and the condition of the tree. My experience with burning it is that it's about like burning rolls of paper towels. When I was a kid, my Dad supervised logging crews around SW NYState and NW PA. They mainly cut the traditional hardwoods like oak and maple but I can remember my Dad telling the crews to take any basswood too that they came across.
