This individually numbered substrate(SAS45)arrives to you ready to go out of the box. This cradle has been pre-sealed top, bottom and sides, next 4 coats of white hard-sandable gesso were applied to the sealed birch top and hand sanded between coats. This step creates a hard flat surface to create on. Lastly, four coats of Marine grade varnish (which helps with UV protection) were hand applied to the hardwood sides and hand sanded between coats. This step seals and protects the wood. The only step you need to do is tape off the Brazilian Cherry sides with high quality painter tape and you are ready to create.
