Using this unfinished wood directors clapboard silhouette is a breeze for your DIY film craft projects. First, if you've asked for a hole, check the size and location are as you wanted. Before you start crafting, don't forget to peel off the protective paper backing on most of the crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. When it comes to size, you've got options from 3' up to 36'. Choose the one that fits your project best. The wood is cut from high - quality cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm) or 1/2 (12mm) inch thickness. If you need a different thickness, just message the seller. As for maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping. And if you're painting or staining it, follow the normal wood - working procedures. That's it! Have fun with your DIY project!
