Using this unfinished wood Hanukkiah Menorah shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can use it for various crafting projects right away. If you need a hole in the shape, just let the seller know the size and where you want it, and they'll do it for free. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. If you paint or decorate it, make sure to use products suitable for wood. And remember, if you have any questions about the product, don't hesitate to message the seller.
