Trekell Unprimed Wood Block Panel - 1/2" Baltic Birch Wooden Painting Canvas

Trekell Unprimed Block Panel – 1/2" Baltic Birch

Trekell Unprimed Block Panels provide artists with a solid, rigid Baltic Birch painting surface that can be prepared for a wide range of media and techniques.

Made from premium 1/2" B/BB Grade Baltic Birch, these solid wood panels provide a smooth, sturdy surface without the flex of stretched canvas. Their simple rectangular and square formats make them a versatile choice for everything from studies and daily paintings to finished artwork.

Each panel is pre-sanded with 180-grit sandpaper and left completely unprimed, allowing you to prepare the surface specifically for your preferred medium and technique. With proper preparation, the Block Panel can be used with oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, encaustic, ink, enamel, charcoal, pencil, pastel, pyrography, and mixed media.

A CNC-routed keyhole on the back allows the finished artwork to hang directly on the wall without a frame. Available in seven sizes, these panels offer a simple, ready-to-hang alternative to thinner flat panels or stretched canvas.

Preparing Your Panel

This panel arrives unprimed so you can prepare the surface for your preferred medium. Oil and acrylic artists can seal and prime the Baltic Birch with their preferred ground, while watercolor artists should apply watercolor ground or mount watercolor paper to the painting surface.

For pyrography or techniques where you want to work directly on the natural Baltic Birch, the pre-sanded surface can be used without applying a painting ground.
