This Natural Wood product may appear oval in shape due to the angled cut. All of our wood products undergo a dry kiln process which sterilizes, wicks away moisture, ensures no mold or bugs, preserves the integrity of the bark, and certainly sets us apart. You'll thank us for this!! the cut surfaces of each product are sanded for a smooth, clean finish that you will be proud to put on display. Each product is unique and carries its own natural characteristics as this is a natural product and may not match the picture identically. Due to the natural characteristics of this product variations in size, shape, color, and clarity are expected.
