Hello!
I have 2’x2′ birch panels that I will be cutting down to workable dimensions. My question is, do the panels need to be cut before I apply linen and true gesso, or can the prep be done, including linen, on the large piece, and cut down later?
Thank you for your help!
Beth
I think this has been done to a limited degree commercially, but I’d be unlikely to try it myself because edges might chip or fray.

Thank you, Marc. I also had concerns about the saw fraying or snagging threads. I’ve decided to prep each cut panel individually. I am learning there aren’t many shortcuts with egg tempera.
Cheers!
