What kind of wood is best for painting? What did they use for icons?I dont mind wood with cracks and lines etc.
Oak, lime. Nothing tarry or oily, for sure.

oak is best... avoid resinous wood like pine.. commercially available you can get birch panels for not too much, it is fine to start with these. What medium will you paint in?
Masonite. It doesn't bend over time

Thinly sliced wood pulp sheets are best for most artistic endeavors
