How to Care for Your Custom Laser-Cut Wood Art: Tips to Keep It Beautiful

How to Care for Your Third & Lindley Keepsakes
Preserve the Beauty of Your Custom Piece for Years to Come

At Third & Lindley, every piece we create is made with intention, care, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Whether it's a cherished handwritten note turned into art or a meaningful photo transformed into custom line work, our handmade wooden creations are designed to be treasured. And like anything special, a little love and care goes a long way in keeping them looking their best.

Keep It Dry
Our pieces are made from 100% wood—beautiful, natural, and uniquely grained. But wood and water don’t mix. We recommend keeping your artwork out of high-moisture areas like bathrooms, kitchens with poor ventilation, or anywhere it might be exposed to humidity. Moisture can cause warping, swelling, or damage to the finish and engraved details.

Skip the Sprays
It might be tempting to give your frame or decor a quick wipe with a household cleaner, but we suggest avoiding any liquids or chemicals. These can alter the natural color of the wood or affect any paint or stain used in your piece. Instead, opt for gentle, dry methods of cleaning.

Dust the Smart Way
The best way to keep your artwork looking crisp and clean is with a can of compressed air. You can find these at general stores like Target or online at Amazon. A few gentle bursts will remove dust from the surface and any delicate crevices without the risk of moisture or residue.

Handle With Care
If you ever need to move or reposition your piece, handle it from the edges and avoid applying pressure to the artwork itself. Though sturdy, the delicate cuts and engraving are best preserved when treated with a soft touch.

Store Thoughtfully (If Needed)
If you're rotating decor or saving your custom piece for a special occasion, store it flat in a dry place, ideally wrapped in soft cloth or tissue to prevent dust and scratches.

We pour heart and soul into every creation, and we hope each piece you welcome into your home brings joy, warmth, and meaning. With just a little bit of care, your Third & Lindley keepsake will continue telling your story for years to come.
