Using this unfinished wood 'Love You More' shape craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, tell us the size and where you want it when you send us a message. You can also ask for a different font by leaving a note with your order. When it comes to crafting, the sanded natural wood with lightly burned edges gives a rustic look that you can customize as you like. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. Since it's made of cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood, it's durable, but avoid exposing it to excessive moisture. And if you need a different thickness of wood, don't hesitate to message us, and we'll see what we can do. Enjoy creating your unique project with this lovely wood craft!
