Using this unfinished wood Abaco Island shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes with most crafts. This backing is there to protect the wood during laser cutting and shipping. You can customize it by adding a hole - just let the seller know the size and location you want. When you're ready to start your DIY project, use it as you like, whether it's painting, staining, or adding other decorative elements. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. If you need a different thickness than the available 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm) or 1/2 (12mm) inch, simply message the seller. They'll do their best to assist you and get your order shipped within 24 hours.
