This set of winter-themed decor is lathed by hand on a machine, each one unique. Picture for reference only. Wood types may vary, but are typically as follows: Maple or birch wood for snowman, black walnut and cherry wood for the trees. Actual item received may or MAY NOT have the live edge at the base. It is dependent on each piece of wood, and whether the bark edge is stable enough. Sometimes it just doesn't work out to leave the bark on. Thank you for your flexibility! The hat on the snowman is torched to give it the traditional black color, and the eyes and mouth are created with a woodburning/pyrography pen. Twigs are added for arms, but are removable for storage or to change position. Wood is finished with wax oil to prevent cracking, however wood may still demonstrate some cracking or warping especially in very humid or very dry conditions. Size varies, but we aim for consistency when possible. Large set is as follows: Small tree 7" high, Snowman 8" high, Large tree 9" high. Small set is as follows: Small tree 4" high, Snowman 5" high, Large tree 6" high When purchasing snowman or tree only, you will receive something within the range of 6-9 inches. If you need specific sizing please let me know.
