Questions
Is the design printed?
No – burnt into the wood with a laser, without any paint.
Will my picture look exactly like the photos?
Almost. Grain and colour differ from piece to piece, and the design comes out a little lighter or darker depending on the wood. That is exactly what makes it one of a kind.
How do I hang it?
The hanger is already on the back – all it needs is the right spot on the wall.
When will it ship?
Ready to ship: 1–2 working days – usually the same day. The shipping costs are on the “Shipping” tab.
My favourite bird is missing – what now?
Wish for it! On the page of the wooden picture there is room for your motif wish.
