It's All in The Details
What Makes Our Wood Prints (or Wood Canvas Prints) Stand Out?
- Natural Wood Surface, without Canvas — we print directly on wood panels, so you get the organic beauty of wood grain, not stretched cloth.
- Vibrant, Fade-Resistant Inks — top-quality pigment inks meant to resist UV fading, moisture, and yellowing.
- Custom Sizes & Shapes — rectangular, square, custom formats; tailoring your art to your space.
- Cove-Edge vs Flat Edge: Cove edge offers depth, shadow play, premium aesthetic. Flat edges are simpler & more minimalist. (We specialize in Cove-Edge because it amplifies the photo on wood.)
Our Materials & Process
- Select & Prepare Wood Panel — premium wood sanded smooth while preserving organic grain patterns.
- High-Resolution Photo Transfer — we map your image’s tones to the structure of the wood for natural highlights/shadows.
- Cove-Edge Finishing — edges carved to create the signature cove that casts soft shadows.

- Rectangular Cove-Edge Wood Prints — great for landscapes, panoramic shots, group portraits.
- Square Cove-Edge Wood Prints — perfect for single subjects, pet portraits, art-style photos.
How to Choose the Best Wood Print for Your Space?
- Consider wood tone: light woods brighten; darker woods make photos moody and rich.
- Match the photo content: portraits with skin tones do well on lighter woods so colors aren’t absorbed too much. Landscapes can thrive with grain showing.
- Size & Viewing Distance: larger size for big wall; up close pick finer grain woods.
- Orientation (portrait vs landscape) and hanging style: our cove-edge includes grooves on both sides.

FAQ
What are wood photo prints?
Wood photo prints are high-resolution images printed directly onto wood panels. Unlike canvases, the actual wood surface contributes texture and character, enhancing the visual depth of your photo.
What does “cove edge” mean?
A cove edge is a beveled or recessed edge design that creates a soft drop-shadow effect around the perimeter of the wood print, adding dimension and making the image “float” slightly off the wall.
How do photos on wood differ from traditional canvas prints?
Photos on wood showcase wood grain, natural color variation, and organic texture; canvas prints offer a more uniform, cloth-like surface with fabric texture and often need framing.
Are wood prints durable? Will the photo fade or warp?
Yes, when made with high-quality, fade-resistant inks and sealed properly, wood prints resist UV fading, moisture, and warping. Our protective coating enhances durability.
Does the wood grain affect the image?
The grain can add natural beauty—subtle texture, unique patterns—but for very fine detail (like text or intricate lines) we recommend lighter-colored woods. We offer previews so you can see how your image interacts with grain.
What sizes do you offer, and are custom sizes possible?
We offer standard rectangular and square cove-edge sizes. Custom dimensions are also available. Just upload your photo and we’ll suggest minimum resolutions for best photo on wood quality.
Can I use my own photo? What file types do you accept?
Absolutely! JPEG, PNG, TIFF are common. High resolution (300 dpi or above) for best clarity. We’ll optimize it for the wood surface.
How do I hang my wood print?
Our frames arrive with pre-cut grooves for either portrait or landscape hanging. Use usual hardware—screw, nail, anchor depending on wall material. No special frame needed.
How do I care for my wood canvas/wood print?
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; avoid soaking or harsh cleaners. Avoid direct sunlight glare for long periods to preserve vibrancy. Keep away from high humidity or rapid temperature changes.
