These unfinished wood maple leaf shapes are perfect for your DIY projects. To start, peel off the protective paper backing that's there to protect the wood during laser cutting and shipping. You can use them as they are or add a hole according to your needs. Just leave us a message with the size and location of the hole. They come in various sizes from 1 inch up to 24 inches, so pick the one that suits your project. When it comes to storage, keep them in a dry place to prevent warping. If you want to paint or stain them, make sure the wood is clean and dry. Remember, we make these products by hand in the Pittsburgh suburbs, so you're getting a high - quality item. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
