1. Will the item I purchase look exactly like the picture on the web?
Each hand-crafted SnodCraft product receives detailed workmanship in the wood shop and on the paint table! There will, however, be slight variances from the picture shown because each piece is hand-painted and also because every computer screen displays color differently. We feel confident that once you receive your purchase it will look even better than the picture you see on the web! SnodCraft guarantees each painted item - if you are not satisfied, neither are we!

If you want the wood cut exactly as the pattern reads, then the cutting process can probably be completed within three days. However, if you require changes in the measurements or wood thickness, it can take slightly longer.

17. What does the word adapted mean when added after the artist's name?
Adding the word "adapted" means we have changed the original pattern slightly. We may have combined several of their designs into one item, or enlarged or made smaller their original design. It could also mean we used their design on a different surface other than originally stated in their pattern. We call it "SnodCrafting" a new product. You get the best of both - the artist's design and SnodCraft detailed wood art!
