Using this Unfinished Wood Cthulhu Shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. Now you're ready to start your project. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can use this wood shape for all sorts of crafts. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping or rotting. If you paint or finish it, follow the instructions on the paint or finishing product you use. Also, since it's hand - made in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, handle it with care to keep its high - quality finish. Remember, we ship it within 24 hours, so you can start your project soon.
