Using these unfinished Thailand country shape wood crafts is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes with most of the crafts. This paper is there to safeguard the wood during laser cutting and shipping. You can use these crafts for various DIY projects in your Southeast Asia - themed crafts. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell the seller the size and location of the hole, and they'll add it for free. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. Since these are made of Baltic birch plywood, they are relatively durable, but avoid exposing them to excessive moisture. If you want to paint or stain the wood, make sure to sand it lightly first for a better finish. And remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to message the seller.
