Product Information

Full details

Cricut Basswood is a premium, dense wood substrate designed for hobbyists and makers using the Cricut Maker who want to create intricate 3D projects like models, puzzles, and custom decor. It offers a smooth, even grain that takes paint and stain exceptionally well without the need for pre-sealing; however, it requires the use of a Knife Blade and careful mat preparation to ensure clean, successful cuts.

Do I need to seal the wood before painting?

How should I secure the wood to the mat?

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack includes four sheets of basswood.

What are the dimensions of each sheet?

Incomplete cuts

Check if the Knife Blade tip is free of debris or wood dust; ensure the material is perfectly flat on the mat.

Material warping

Store sheets in a cool, dry place and keep them pressed flat when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve professional results, you must use a Cricut StrongGrip mat to ensure the material does not shift. Before starting your cut, align the basswood sheet on the mat and use painter's tape or masking tape to secure all four edges firmly to the mat surface. This prevents the material from lifting during the high-pressure passes of the Knife Blade. This product is compatible only with the Cricut Maker series and requires the Knife Blade. Store your unused sheets in a flat, dry environment to prevent warping, as natural wood can react to significant changes in humidity.
