Fish Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 If I can get this set up right, what wood should I use? I was thinking 1/4" oak. Girls pencil drawing.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmoonCT Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I am partial to cherry myself... Cherry with a black backer just looks so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 For portraits, I like wood with very little grain. Too much grain takes away from your work. I'd rather have people talk about the work than the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think it's going be walnut now. I got some from a friend that has a fine grain. I see what you mean about to much grain taking it all away from the picture though. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
