The musical note fractions fit comfortably in hand and have a pleasant weight. They are laser cut from high quality 1/8" (3 mm) thick 3-ply birch plywood.
The music notes and hoops are suitable for use in their unfinished state but may also be finished. They may be painted, stained, and/or varnished without trouble. Some finish sanding will be required if you desire a very smooth surface.
When cutting wood with a laser, wooden edges are noticeably darker than the top and bottom. The darkening is fairly uniform and some people prefer the contrast. However, if you do not like the darker edges, they may be removed by sanding.
