Using these unfinished wood shaman - shaped crafts is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of the crafts. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can use these crafts for various DIY projects. 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. When it comes to maintenance, since it's natural wood, keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. You can sand it further if you want a smoother finish. If you're using paints or stains, make sure the wood is dry. And remember, if you have any other questions about using or taking care of these crafts, don't hesitate to message us.
