Using this unfinished wood witches cauldron shape for your Halloween crafts is super easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. Then, you can start your DIY project. 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. When it comes to sizing, you can choose from 4 inches up to 24 inches. The wood is made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch thickness. If you want a different thickness, let us know. As for maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping. You can paint or decorate it as you like for your Halloween project.
