- About this item
- 12-PACK 10”x10”x1/8” UNFINISHED BASSWOOD SHEETS FOR CRAFTS - This pack of 12 pieces of unfinished basswood sheets is perfect for DIY crafts for all ages. Made from layers of pure basswood compressed into durable sheets of plywood. Each sheet measures around 10 inches long by 10 inches wide and 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. EASY TO CUT AND USE - Basswood is well-known as a type of wood that is easy to work with. It’s easy to cut and carve with a regular utility knife, scroll saw, and it is suitable for laser cutting and Knife Blade cutting on the Cricut Maker. The sheets are not very flexible but they have enough give to follow the contours of a model plane or boat. These basswood sheets accept stain, paint, and sealers very well. PERFECT FOR ARCHITECTURAL MODELS - These sheets of basswood plywood are perfect for concept design models. They’re inexpensive, lightweight, and can be cut to any shape or size without breaking into pieces or warping. Not only that, but basswood sheets are also excellent for miniature houses and scenes, mini laser cut panels, wood burning artworks, and more. NATURAL COLOR BASSWOOD WITH SMOOTH SURFACE - Made from high-quality, even-grained basswood, each basswood sheet’s unfinished surface is smooth and does not have any splinters or any other damages that can mar the surface. The basswood’s grain is excellent for staining and painting with no need for time-consuming surface preparations. PLEASE NOTE: Due to variations in the raw materials used in the manufacturing process, please expect around 0.1 to 0.3mm error in thickness and around 1mm to 5mm error in both the length and width. Aside from this, we can assure you that all sheets are cut straight without warps or any deformation.
Lightweight and Durable Basswood Plywood for Crafts Compared to balsa due to being lightweight, basswood offers more durability and density than balsa. It is more suitable for models and toys that require clean cuts and smoother surfaces. Basswood’s even wood grain and consistent texture accept stains and paints better for a smoother and more professional-looking finish. To ensure that your final piece is weatherproofed, you can use either outdoor or indoor wood sealants on these basswood sheets. And don’t worry, these basswood sheets don’t have sizable gaps and debris in-between layers, ensuring that you’ll have clean cuts without tear outs. Basswood also has smaller pores than balsa so it won’t absorb too much moisture and prevent plywood expansion and/or buckling.
