Using these unfinished wood candlestick shapes is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This backing is there to protect the wood during cutting and shipping. Then, you can start your crafting project. If you need a hole in the shape, let the seller know the size and location, and they'll add it for free. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping or rotting. Since these are unfinished, you can paint, stain, or decorate them however you like to match your project's needs. Just be aware that different thicknesses of plywood (1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 inches) may require different tools and techniques for cutting or shaping if you plan to make further adjustments. And remember, the seller ships within 24 hours, so you can get started on your project quickly.
