Do I need to prime these panels before painting?

No. The surface comes sanded smooth and the maker says it needs no priming for acrylic paint. A light sanding between coats still helps on detailed work.

What can I use on them besides acrylic paint?

Stains, stencils, decoupage and mixed media finishes all work on the sanded face. Seal the finished piece if it will be handled or hung where moisture is present.

Are they thick enough to stand alone?

They are about 0.35 inch thick, so they are best hung flat or backed with a frame. For a tray or standing display, add hardware or a backing as the maker suggests.

How many panels come in a pack?

Two rectangular panels, each 12 by 18 inches. That allows a matched pair or two separate projects.

Can I cut them to a smaller size?

Hardwood of this thickness can be cut with a saw, but cut edges will be raw and need sanding. Plan your layout around the full 12 x 18 size if you can.

Our take on the Martha Stewart 12" x 18" Hardwood Panels 68531

These are two unfinished hardwood panels, each 12 by 18 inches and about a third of an inch thick, sold as a blank base for painting, staining, stenciling and decoupage. The surface is sanded smooth and needs no priming before acrylic paint, which saves a step over raw plywood or rough craft boards. They suit home decor projects such as wall art, signs, event displays and trays, and the thin profile keeps them light for hanging. Against plain craft wood, the prepped face and consistent rectangle are the draw; against cradled art boards, they lack depth and a built-in hanging edge.
