Our wavy flag starts as a 2x4. We cut them to size and then carve the wave into the flag, so the wood is actually wavy. Every star is hand painted so each flag is slightly different, making them one of a kind. Each Flag has a several coats of Polyurethane so that it will hold up to the weather should you choose to put it outside. Our flags measure 32 in x 19.5 Our wood: Using pine allows us to keep this sign’s weight down as well as providing structural strength. Hand cutting each carefully selected piece helps us to avoid unsightly knots and bad spots in the wood. We singe the wood to bring out the pine’s natural distinctive grain, making each sign unique as no two pieces of wood are the same. Pine, unlike plastics, vinyl, or PVC is a renewable resource, so it’s good for the environment too. Since these are handmade of wood, each flag has a slightly different appearance. Backing: We place three 1x3 on the back for extra protection & strength. Our Stain: We trust MinWax’s hundred plus years of experience for our stains and finishes. Outdoor Use: Finished in a clear polyurethane, these signs can be placed out in the weather without fear, though we do recommend you apply a clear coat of spray enamel each year to avoid fading. (Available at most local hardware stores). Stripes: Each stripe is made from an individual piece of wood that is singed and stained before being joined together with premium wood glue. Stars: there are two options on stars. 1st options is individually nailed, raised, wooden stars or white hand painted stars. Hanging: We have attached d-rings to the back of the flag for hanging. We offer other color options such as; thin blue line, thin red line, thin yellow line, thin green line, thin white line
