Using these unfinished wood pumpkin shapes is easy! First, peel off the protective paper backing. This was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. You can use these shapes for all sorts of DIY projects for fall and Halloween. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it free of charge. When it comes to sizing, we have options from 3' up to 24'. The wood is cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch thicknesses. If you need a different thickness, let us know. To keep your craft in good condition, store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture as it might damage the wood. And remember, all our products are hand - made in the Pittsburgh suburbs, so you're getting a high - quality item.
