Using this unfinished Komodo dragon shape for your DIY craft 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 customize it by adding a hole - just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll do it for free. You can use it for various craft projects. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. If you're using paint or other finishes, make sure to follow the product instructions on those items. If you have any other questions while using it, don't hesitate to message us.
