I am the original designer of glitter letters pricing and understanding wood letter quality ( read below) Pricing of wooden names or letters varies and depends on the wood quality someone uses. i use top of the line 9 ply, 1/2 inch thick Russian Baltic birch wood which is regarded as furniture quality wood and must be purchased from a specialty shop dealing in hardwoods.. This thickness gives a nice dimensional look to a wall, in addition to being very sturdy without being too heavy. If you were to look on the side you will see 9 layers of hardwood. This wood i use is also in line with California’s strict emissions codes. This is the highest grade wood for name cut outs. There is a much cheaper version of “wood” and this can be under the name “birch plywood.” Because of its low quality and it being so fragile and especially flimsy i do not use this wood. With this wood you will see three layers on the side and will only get two layers of very thin birch and a cheap middle filler which makes up most of this wood type. This type of wood can be found at local big box stores. mdf is another low end alternative which is very fragile due to its cheap make up. i would not even consider this wood. To read further on this you can read my introduction which will expand on mdf as well and the dangers with emissions. With doing this for 11 years and knowing the industry very well i am educated on what quality wood looks like and what thickness gives the best look. If you were to compare Russian Baltic Birch to Birch plywood wood or mdf there is a vast difference. finishes – i can use paint with a glitter finish which looks gorgeous! This has a look of crushed diamonds over the top. Also available are colored glitters. Not all glitter gives the same look, there are many techniques. The technique and type of glitter we use is gorgeous, customers love our look!
