Using this unfinished Ghana country shape wood craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This was there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can use it for various DIY projects right away. If you need a hole, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. Since it's made of wood, avoid getting it too wet. If you're painting or staining it, make sure the surface is clean. And remember, these crafts come in sizes from 3' to 36' and are cut from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood. If you need a different thickness, just let us know.
