Since totems are a specific shape, you will need to have them custom made. (How to make a custom totem panel will NOT be covered in this course.)

My resources are:

• SF Bay Area: Avi Hadad, please text 510.508.3846

• Southern California, Chris (Instagram: @panelsbychris) or 714.482.3505

• Bara Woodshaping (Instagram: @bara_woodshaping) will ship from Oregon. They have a special two pack specifically designed for this class. You can choose between a 2" or a 3" depth. It's your preference. The link is: https://www.barawoodshaping.com/products/bibby-g-totem-pack-9-x-72?variant=44956406612125

You can also purchase 2x4x8 lumber from Home Depot or any lumber yard and have them cut into your desired length. You can miter or square the corners. It is up to you. Then, make a frame and attach ¼” plywood or Masonite on the face (cut to your desired dimensions at the store). Blick Art also carries panels. Another idea is to have canvas stretched to your preferred size. Again, I prefer 72x9x3 panel size. Cost from $150+.
