Using your Equatorial Guinea - shaped unfinished wood craft is a breeze. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the craft, tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can choose from different sizes, between 3' and 36', and thicknesses of 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. You can paint or stain the wood according to your project needs. If you have any questions while using the craft, just message us and we'll help you out.
