How big is the propeller replica and how much does it weigh?

What is the propeller made of and what does the finish look like?

Is the propeller crafted, and does it require any assembly?

How do you hang or mount this wooden propeller?

This propeller ships with a basic mounting kit included. At about 9 pounds, it is easy to hang, but for a 73-inch span we still recommend fastening into a wall stud rather than drywall alone for lasting support. Center the mounting points so the propeller hangs level and balanced.

Is the propeller meant for indoor or outdoor use?

This is an indoor decorative piece. Because it is finished wood, it is best displayed inside in offices, studies, living rooms, hangars, or reception areas. Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and high humidity so the weathered amber finish stays looking its best for years of display in your space.

How do you care for and clean the wooden propeller?

Treat it like fine wood decor. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and for heavier soiling use a barely damp cloth rather than soaking the wood, then dry it right away. Keep it out of direct sun and high humidity to protect the finish, which is meant to look weathered and aged.
