Our Cradled Boards, Frames, and Floater Frames are custom-made here on the Gold Coast by us, Waxy Art Supplies. Please note that these are handmade and require between 2 to 14 days to produce.
Professional-grade boards are made on-site using 6mm-thick, 5-ply birch wood. Unique to our boards, the cradling is constructed from maple - a stable timber with a straight, tight grain, counteracting the tendency to warp.
Birch is a popular substrate due to its smooth surface, consistent colour, relatively light weight, and absorbent qualities. The boards are sanded to an ultra-smooth finish. Structural strength is achieved using the 5-ply (instead of 3-ply) construction, superior timber for cradling, and with additional bracing applied where required.
The cradle, (back bracing), is 25mm deep, supporting the 6mm birch ply. So overall it sits 31mm high. We recommend sealing the back of the boards to help prevent moisture absorption by the wood
Gallery-grade mounting hardware is included for easy attachment, such as plastic-coated wire, D-rings with screws, and felt bumpers.
