Using these unfinished wood fork - shaped crafts is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This is on there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. Then, you can start your DIY project. You can add a hole to the shape if you need one. Just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll do it for free. These crafts come in different lengths from 3' to 36' and are made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch thicknesses. If you need a different thickness, let us know. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in a dry place to prevent warping. And since they're hand - made in the Pittsburgh suburbs, you know you're getting a high - quality item. If you have any questions during your project, don't hesitate to message us.
