Ampersand - The Artist Panel Unprimed Basswood Cradled Proflie

The Artist Panel Unprimed Basswood Cradled Proflie

Build your ideal painting surface on ultra-smooth premium basswood

Basswood's tight grain eliminates the fiber raising that makes birch plywood frustrating to prepare. This 4mm premium hardwood surface arrives sanded smooth, ready for whatever ground your technique demands, traditional gesso, absorbent grounds, or specialized primers. The wood's inherent stability means no flexing under aggressive painting or burnishing, maintaining surface integrity through oil, encaustic, or heavy-bodied applications.

Ampersand handcrafts these panels with solid wood cradle frames in two profiles: 7/8-inch for standard presentation or 1-1/2-inch for gallery-style depth. Both profiles provide structural support while creating a finished edge you can paint or stain to complement your work. The cradled construction simplifies presentation, attach hanging hardware directly to the back and display without framing, or frame as desired. Unlike composite surfaces, basswood accepts hardware securely and won't delaminate at attachment points.

Starting with unprimed panels gives you complete control over surface preparation. Build absorbency for watercolor techniques, create tooth for pastel, or apply multiple gesso layers for ultra-smooth oil painting. The consistent surface quality means predictable results across your preferred grounds and media.
