ChristBess Rustic Personalized World Map Wedding Guest Book- Custom State Wedding Guestbook-Long Distance Love-Wooden Wedding Guest Book

Since my husband is from Jamaica, I wrote to the Seller to see if he could do an outline of the island instead of a State. He promptly replied and said he could do that. Book arrived yesterday. Disappointed that the cut-outs do not go all the way through as depicted on the picture and also the wood itself is very lightweight and seems it could break pretty easily (Balsa wood?). Am trying to think of things to do to strength it (Modge-Podge or some sort of varnish possibly).
