Originally developed as the perfect wood burning surface, Basswood Planks are chosen for their clearer appearance, free from most naturally occurring characteristics commonly found in our Rustic Basswood Planks. Each plank is unique in shape, size, and personality for creating one-of-a-kind crafts, art, custom signs, home decor projects, hobbies and more. Refer to the photos in this listing to see the variety of natural characteristics these cleaner pieces still offer. So versatile, they can be painted, decoupaged, stamped, engraved, and carved. No chemicals are used in manufacturing our planks, making them an excellent choice as plate chargers and serving platters for DIY events and weddings. Proudly Made in America at Walnut Hollow in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, each piece is kiln-dried and sanded smooth. It's then inspected to ensure the natural bark live edge has been well-maintained before careful shrink-wrapping. The width of each piece is 11 in. to 13 in.; length is 16 in.; thickness is 5/8 in..
