Using this unfinished wood renaissance bard - shaped craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the craft, just let the seller know the size and location you want, and they'll take care of it for free. When it comes to your project, you can use this wood for all sorts of creative ideas. It's cut from high - quality cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in different thicknesses (1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm)). If you want a different thickness, just message the seller. As for maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. When you're done with your crafting, store it in a cool and dry area. That way, your creation will last a long time.
