Using your unfinished Gabon country shape wood craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes with it. This was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. You can add a hole to the shape if you need one. Just message the seller with the size and location you want, and they'll do it for free. You can use these crafts for a wide range of DIY projects. Since they come in sizes from 3' to 36' and are made of cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in different thicknesses (1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 inch), you have a lot of options. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. If you're painting or staining the wood, make sure the surface is clean. Enjoy creating your unique Central African - themed crafts!
