Using your unfinished wood cross tombstone shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on the craft. This paper was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can use this craft for all sorts of DIY projects. It comes in different diameters from 1 foot up to 36 feet, so pick the size that suits your project best. The wood is made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in thicknesses of 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm). If you need a different thickness, just let us know. To keep your craft in good condition, store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for long periods.
