What is the cheapest, semi soft wood for carving?

I am looking for some large pieces of wood, maybe 4''x4''x6'' or bigger. I need the cheapest wood possible. I am planning on carving a model to form a silicon mold around. Got any ideas?

Basswood is what I use, I don't use anything that big, but I'm sure you can find some pieces that big.

Ditto the recommendation of Basswood - though White Pine is an alternative.
