Beautiful beyond description, and made by ONE man here in the USA! Baltic Birch is the primary wood I use, although, if you give me a few days, I can do Maple, Red Alder or Cherry wood as well. It looks great just as it is and you can paint it if you like. Either way, I want to thank you for your support of American small business, and thank you for visiting my store here on Etsy! This print is done on high-grade 1/8th inch Baltic Birch and then a sealant is applied to protect it from changes in humidity. Then when I package these, I leave NOTHING to chance! I have seen those videos where the delivery man chucks the package like a frisbee! Thanks again for stopping by! I want to take a moment to thank you for looking at this item. My shop mainly produces laser engraved pieces. I engrave on everything from slate and granite, to birch and so many other types of materials, it is hard to keep track. I ended up laser engraving because according to Covid, I was non-essential. I am not one to sit and watch grass grow, so I decided to find something that I would love doing, and would pay the bills. Here I am.... I am a one man shop. From the second your order comes in, to the second the shipping company takes it away, I have been the ONLY one touching your product. In the future, I hope to grow enough to take on a few dedicated employees who are as passionate about delivering a high-quality product as I am. I want to ship a product and be CERTAIN that your expectations will be exceeded. I do tons of custom work. My specialty is putting pictures onto wood. I do this either in full color through sublimation, or by laser engraving on the material of your choice. Please do not hesitate to message me with any question you may have. It would be my pleasure to add you to my list of happy customers! Thanks, Hank
