Available in standard as well as custom sizes, artist quality panels from Jane’s Frames are made from only the highest quality materials. We use baltic birch for the face of the panels, the 3/4” cradle is available in varying depths & is constructed from baltic birch or furniture grade maple plywood, this creates an attractive side which doesn’t require painting. Bracing is used in medium to larger sized panels to prevent warping. Ideal for acrylic, encaustic, & oil painters. Available gessoed/ primed by request. Panels are available by order/ pick up from Jane’s Frames in Fergus ON (shipping arrangements can also be made), and at The Fifth International Encaustic Conference June, 2011.
The cradle can be masked and left unpainted…
a stain, varnish or furniture wax can be used to enhance the wood’s natural grain.
Examples of custom panels can include an inset box, shown here…
perfect for incorporating three dimensional objects!
TESTIMONIALS
“Jane’s exceptional wooden panels are very well made. Having painted on them myself, I recommend them to students, and sell them from ‘The Hive’ (my encaustic school/gallery) with confidence. These affordable panels are solid and do not warp, with care going into every step of the process. Jane is an encaustic artist and brings this sensibility to her panel-making, knowing what artists are looking for. She is committed to making a high-quality product, which is great for all of us! I have especially enjoyed working on her customized panels with inset boxes.”

“Jane’s Frames produces magnificent and professional birch panels, the wood chosen is of splendid quality and the custom inset boxes within the birch panels are fantastic to work with. The encaustic medium takes to these panels in the most delicious way. I highly recommend Jane’s Frames – birch panels, I use them for all my work and my students love them too.”
