Using your Unfinished Wood Jousting Knight Shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. 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 use this shape for all sorts of crafting projects. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. If you paint or stain it, let it dry completely in a well - ventilated area. As for cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is usually enough to keep it looking great. And if you have any questions or need more help, don't hesitate to message us!
