Using this Unfinished Wood Benin Country Shape for your DIY project is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, tell the seller the size and where you want it, and they'll add it for free. You can choose from different sizes (3 inches to 36 inches) and thicknesses (1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 inch). Just use your favorite crafting tools and materials to bring your creative ideas to life. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. You can also apply a wood finish to protect it further and make it look nicer. If you have any questions while using the product, don't hesitate to message the seller.
