This item is made with a laser cutter and human hands. There may be imperfections in the cut, stain, or paint, so please keep that in mind when purchasing. Slight differences between each Christmas ornament will occur as wood is not a perfect medium. This is a natural occurrence and cannot be avoided. Knots, slight gaps, and not smooth or perfect surfaces (uneven surfaces may be) are expected. The ornament may smell like a campfire from the wood being burned. Don't worry, the burnt smell will dissipate within a few days and is usually gone before it leaves the workshop.
