Using this unfinished wood grand piano shape craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in your craft, tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can use it for various DIY projects right away. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. Since it's made of natural wood, avoid scratching the surface. Store it in a dry place. And if you want to paint or stain it, make sure the wood is clean and dry first.
