Balsa Wood Sheet, 5 Pack Plywood Sheets, Basswood Sheets 12X12X1/16 Inch, Unfinished Wood Boards Blanks for Laser Cutting, Engraving, Burning, Crafts

These 12x12 wood pieces are perfect for crafting! The size is just right, and the price makes them an even better deal. I’ve used them for various projects—including wood burning—and they’ve held up beautifully without cracking or splitting. I’ll definitely be buying more!

We've used these squares to make baseplates for art & craft projects, as canvases for woodburning, and a lot more! The wood is very consistent in quality, takes ink & paint very well, and is very flat. If need be, you can also flatten them under a pile of books or rocks. The wood is thin enough to accept this correction within a few days. I didn't have to do this for mine, but it's worth knowing about just in case.

I purchased these in hopes of cutting stuff out with my Cricut Air. I ordered the correct blade and all. If you are going to use the wood for that purpose as well, I would recommend something else. This wood is too thick. I even went over 3 times (which fellow cricuter’s will know that’s 12 times total), and it still did not cut through.If you are using it for different purposes, then know that the wood is sturdy, thick, and the color is nice. I used a wood paint to test, as well as a stain, and the wood absorbed both perfectly fine.All in all, not good for cricut use, but good for other things!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Worked perfectly! Used these with the cricut to make a lighted sign for my husband. Cut well, even with the intricate design, sanded and took stain easily.

Very thin. Easy to cut.

I have many projects waiting

These are great for crafting. Easy to cut. Exactly as described.

Not balsa wood, but some sort of thin plywood. Cricut broke the blade while trying to cut it.
