With over 34 years experience in custom furniture and architectural woodworking, we combine the best materials with the most advanced technology, to produce the finest support system for painting and drawing.

The rigid 1/2 inch panel will always remain stable. The panels inner core has three layers of aspen hardwood that are glued in alternating directions. Waterproof glue keeps each layer from expanding or contracting. The front and back veneer is made of Natural Maple hardwood, the face veneer has no seems, voids or knots. The back of the artist panel has recessed dovetailed slots for easy hanging. The panel will hang with or without the expense of hanging wire or picture framing.

The Natural Maple Uncradled Art Board is perfect for encaustic painting, as well as traditional egg tempera painting, oil painting and acrylic painting. All panels are meticulously sanded and ready for which ever painting ground the artist prefers to use. The wood panels are perfect for Art Boards™ Acrylic Panel Gesso which is a gesso made specifically for ridged surfaces and it performs like a traditional gesso. 

A good quality shellac is also an excellent ground to prime with; shellac makes a beautiful clear finished surface to paint directly on when using oil paints and it retains the clear wood finish.
