Using this unfinished wood Dominica country shape 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 your shape, send a message to the seller with the size and location you want. You can use this shape for all sorts of DIY projects. It's made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in thicknesses of 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch. Sizes range from 3' up to 36'. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. You can sand it more if you want a smoother finish before painting or staining.
