For those who use premade pine panels for their projects, I just wanted to share the primed panels I recently found at Lowes.Primed Project Panels
The panel quality is so much better than the paint or stain grade panels. Yeah they are a few bucks more. The website has them at $39, but I have found them in store for $31. Every one I have bought is dead flat or close enough that the workholding clamps flatten it enough. The cheaper ones almost always have a cup. Plus since they are primed you can eliminate the sanding and sealcoat steps. You can be machining within an hour after cutting to size, treating the edges and painting with a graffiti spray paint
My carvings have turned out so much sharper and cleaner. Hope this helps someone out. Good times!
