Step 2: Assembly

Remove the sheet from the laser device and wipe the wood with a lightly moistened cloth.

Note: Leave assembly for the recipient of the card.

Begin to remove the individually processed pieces from the sheet of wood. Slide the two tree pieces together and attach the bottom to the "X" on the card. Assemble the sleigh and fasten the runners into the four notches on the card, as shown in the images provided.

Experiment with different designs, messages, and TroWood Veneer types, such as Bamboo, Birch, Cherry, or Walnut.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
