Using this unfinished wood wolf - head shape for your DIY project is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This backing is there to protect the wood during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, send a message to the seller with the size and location you want. The shape comes in sizes from 3' to 36' and is made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch thickness. You can use it for up to 46 different DIY projects. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. If you get it dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. If you have any questions about using or maintaining this product, don't hesitate to message the seller.
