Using these unfinished bannered axes shape craft cutouts is a breeze. First, peel off the protective paper backing before you start your craft project. You can paint it with acrylics to give it a bright color, pour resin for a shiny finish, or do some wood burning for a rustic look. If you need a hole in the cutout, just tell us the size and where you want it at checkout for free. For thickness, you can choose 1/8', 1/4' or 1/2' according to your needs, and sizes are available from 1' to 46'. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Since they are made of high - quality Baltic birch, they'll last a long time with proper care.
