Our exclusive wood mermaid is painted in a lovely antique white finish. We personalize it with any name. The design and personalization are laser engraved for a beautiful look. It is Intended for our painted wood items to have a slight distressed, decorative finish. Due to the nature of the laser cutting process, it is possible that slight burn marks may be visible, particularly in intricate areas and on lighter colored items. Also, please be aware as with all wood items, slight differences in color, texture and grain may be apparent. These variations are unavoidable in natural materials.
