FAQ

Here are some of my most commonly asked questions:

1. How long does shipping take?
- Within Canada, typically within 5 business days, but COVID - so I'm unable to make any delivery promises at this time. To save on shipping, we use Canada Post regular mail so each wood-slice is only $2 to ship anywhere in Canada and the US.

2. Are these made with chalk markers/paint? 
- The first few I made were with paint markers, but I had concerns about the lettering discolouring or cracking over time. The designs you see are all my own, but I cut them out of premium-grade vinyl so the lettering should last a lifetime with indoor use. I use only highest quality Oracle vinyl and personally make each ornament by hand, including handpainting the background. 

3. How long will a custom ornament take?
- It depends on the complexity of your design, but most custom orders will be done and shipped within a week. 

4. Can I get the background in red or blue (or other colours)?
- Unfortunately no. As a one man operation, in order for me to keep inventory and style consistent, I've chosen a popular neutral chalkboard look. I may release limited edition colour combinations at a later date. 

5. Can I do this myself?
- Funny you should ask! I'm working on a complete kit that will contain everything you need to launch an ornament side biz for yourself. All of the items in the kit are high-quality products that I've tested myself over the years and that I use to create my slices. Not all wood slices are created equal so you'll be provided with sanded and drilled Canadian birch slices, paint, brushes, twine, vinyl and a unique set of SVG files so you can make these yourself - all you'll need is a cutting machine.
The Maker Crate will be launching in 2023 so be sure to join my mailing list for more information.
