Live-edge rectangular basswood plaques in this line come in 2 1/4" × 3 1/2", 7" × 11", 10" × 13" and 11" × 16" sizes, with an oval shape also offered.
Yes, they're live-edge pieces, meaning the natural bark stays on along one edge rather than being trimmed square.
Most sizes are a nominal 11/16" thick, except the smallest 2 1/4" × 3 1/2" plaque, which is 1/2" thick and already drilled with a hanging hole.
They're cut from a single block of basswood, not glued up from separate pieces, which keeps the live edge continuous and free of seams.
