Travis Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm curious, what thickness of plywood do you use the most for your portrait-style cuttings? 1/8" or 1/4"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWoodArtist Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I use 1/4 most of the time but every now and then when I want the light shadow effect with great detail I even use 1/2 and 3/4 but most of the time it's 1/4 on everything.

Dan Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I use 1/8" because it fits in many store-bought frames and I can stack cut more if I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I use 2.5 or 3mm Marine ply it is very sturdy, and you don't get bits break off. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollworks Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I use 1/8" baltic birch for my portraits, as they fit nicely into frames without modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Travis, I use 1/8" for the portrait and for the backer also, I find that I can cut more copies if I use it because I stack cut as many as five at a time. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
