Review on πŸͺ΅ Craft Grade Basswood Sheet Pack - Thin Plywood Wood Sheets for Crafts (10 Sheets 1/16 X 8 X 12 Inch) by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The product looks good once the sheets get used to my shop. !

Pros: Leaves look good. The quality of both sides of the sheets is high. Very brave; very light in weight. Disadvantages: currently none. Comment: We'll see how good they look when they adapt to my shop! I hope they stay flat as they are, I plan to weigh them down while they warm up a bit. Fast home delivery! Added - 04/11/21: Update! 1) Although the sheets are not flat they flex very little, after using them I find they retain their flatness. (If you have spare sheets put them in a protective sheet and weigh them down, it doesn't hurt)! 2) Cutting - I didn't know how to cut leaves. I didn't want any frayed or broken edges. but tried to cut the first sheet with a backsaw, very fine teeth but it chipped off the bottom layer before cutting. Then I used the exacto knife with the new blade. (very sharp) by applying low pressure and eight low pressure cuts I was able to cut through the sheet and make a very thin cut without chipping or fraying on either side. I sanded the edges lightly, being careful to sand across the grain, and ended up with a really nice piece of thin plywood that fit my purpose with a "T"! These slabs are very thin and you have to be careful not to tear the sheet as you work (none of my sheets have snapped but they were well supported) and NOT apply too much cutting pressure; Use multiple cuts with very little pressure instead of one sharp one, the results will pay off in the end. I hope this update helps someone, I almost lost the first blade, but with light sanding I was able to recover the cut blade for the back saw. Now just a small stain, a bit of felt, and off you go! Many thanks to the manufacturer, you have made a great product!
