Plywood Thickness

[Travis]

I'm curious, what thickness of plywood do you use the most for your portrait-style cuttings? 1/8" or 1/4"?

[TheWoodArtist]

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.

I use mostly 1/8" for portraits. 1/4" for scenic pictures.

I use mostly 1/8" for portraits.

I use 1/8" because it fits in many store-bought frames and I can stack cut more if I want.

I use 2.5 or 3mm Marine ply it is very sturdy, and you don't get bits break off.

I mostly use 1/8" BBply

[Marshall]

In the past I have used the 1/8" BB plywood ...........for I usually stack cut two or three when I'm cutting .

I use 1/8" baltic birch for my portraits, as they fit nicely into frames without modification.

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.
