When using a large number of elements, it is recommended to mark the order on the back of the cuts. It should also be added that at this point workpieces should be treated with linseed oil, and after drying - with varnish. Each saw cut is fixed to the base with hot glue. For a better adhesion, it is recommended to pre-grind one side of it. The composition can be supplemented with unusual driftwood, twigs or other natural elements.
