Using your unfinished wood Mothman shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that came on the craft. This was there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can use it for all sorts of creative projects, like wall art or a part of a diorama. 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. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping. If you want to paint or stain the wood, make sure it's clean and dry first. And remember, we make these by hand in the Pittsburgh suburbs, so each one has that extra attention to detail. If you have any questions while working on your project, don't hesitate to message us.
