The painted example is shown for inspiration so you can see one possible color combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the kit include paint or glue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Paint, stain, brushes, adhesive, sealer, ribbon, hanging hardware, and display props are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the gnome assembled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design uses a main base and separate layered accent pieces. Review the complete-pieces product photo before beginning, dry-fit the layout, and then paint and assemble the pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I paint the pieces before assembling them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Those normal variations are part of an unfinished laser-cut wood product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this item kept in stock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis craft blank is made to order after purchase rather than pulled from tracked finished-goods inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counter Culture DIY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49259752947929,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/5484\/2585\/files\/merry-christmas-gnome-unfinished-white-background.png?v=1789578750","url":"https:\/\/counterculturediy.com\/products\/merry-christmas-gnome-layered-wood-craft-blank","provider":"Counter Culture DIY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
