Using your Unfinished Baltic Birch Wood Spooky Tree Shape Craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that came on the craft. This paper was there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can then start your creative project right away. If you need a hole in the shape, tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. When it comes to storing your craft, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping or getting damaged. If you want to paint or stain the wood, make sure the surface is clean and dry. And remember, our products are hand - made in the Pittsburgh suburbs with great attention to detail, so handle them with care to enjoy their quality for a long time.
