Using this German Shepherd dog - shaped unfinished wood craft is a breeze. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on the craft. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can customize it however you like. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can paint it, stain it, or add any decorations you want to make it your own. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from excessive moisture as it's made of wood. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. And remember, if you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to message us.
