Using this unfinished sequoia - shaped wood craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. Then, you can paint it, carve it, or add decorations as you like. For adding a hole, just tell us the size and location you want. When storing, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. Clean it gently with a dry cloth. If you're using it for an outdoor project, consider applying a weather - resistant finish. Enjoy your crafting!
