Using wood as a mosaic base

Bases - Mosaic Base Preparation - Wood Base - Glass Base - Metal Base - Outdoor Bases - Indoor Bases

You can use very thin wood boards for mosaic plaques or pot holders. However, if the wooden board is around 9mm thick (about 1/3rd of an inch) then I wouldn't suggest making the mosaic larger than 30 to 40 cm squared (11 to 15 inches).

If you are making a larger mosaic then you will need a thicker wooden board, starting at around 12mm (1/2 inch) and up. This will give support and strength to the mosaic as the tesserae required to cover and area of that size will be heavy and would possibly break a smaller board over time.
