Engraved oval bark-edge board – ash or alder wood slice

Whether it's for the sauna door or the entrance to the barbecue hut, or you're still looking for a gift that doesn't feel mass-produced – an engraved bark-edge board is just right. The oval wood slice with its natural bark edge carries your chosen motif or your own text, as if made for your entrance. At a glance, the spot where you hang it gains character and warmth.

What changes for you

• Your door or wall instantly feels more welcoming, without much decorating. That's because the sanded tree slice with its bark edge speaks for itself.
• You get a sign that's truly one of a kind – every bark-edge board grows differently in the tree and is engraved individually for you.
• Your sign is easy to read without being intrusive – the darker brown engraving stands out gently against the light, wood-grained surface.
• You'll find the right size for every spot – from a small slice of around 10 cm for the sauna or kitchen to a large format of up to 70 cm at the entrance to your dining room.
• You're not limited to the set motifs – alongside the selection, you can simply have your own text engraved.

Why this bark-edge board makes a difference every day

A printed sign does its job. An engraved tree slice also shows that someone has set up this place with care. Guests find their way to the sauna, the regulars' table or the toilet. The board with its rough bark and engraved lettering blends quietly into the room. The wood brings calm to the space instead of making it louder.

Material & finish

The bark-edge board is made of ash or alder wood. It is produced in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is cleanly finished and sanded natural, so it feels pleasantly smooth. The bark stays on the edge and gives each board its own unmistakable shape. Differences in shade, grain and small knots are not a flaw. They are the mark of a genuine natural product, and they make your board one of a kind.

How to use your bark-edge board

• On your front door or a room door: a “Herzlich Willkommen” or “Privat” on the door – and visitors know they're in the right place before they even ring the bell.
• In the sauna or garden shed: a small wood slice points the way – and the warm wood suits the relaxed mood.
• In a dining room, snack bar or barbecue hut: engraved signs for the entrance, toilets or regulars' table make it easy to find your way – and give your rooms a consistently rustic, well-kept look.
• As a gift: engraved with your own text, the wood slice becomes a personal keepsake for a housewarming, anniversary or opening – one that nobody else will have.
• As a decorative board in the kitchen: leaned against the wall or hung up, it brings a touch of nature into the room with no extra effort.

Good to know about the tree slice

A wood slice with a bark edge shows the cross-section of the trunk – and since no two trees grow alike, no two slices match in shape, grain or edge. That's exactly why an engraved bark-edge board makes such a good personal sign or gift: your text sits on a piece that exists only once.

Care & durability

There's not much to do: an occasional wipe with a dry cloth is all it takes to keep the wood looking lovely for a long time. Avoid constant moisture – that way the surface and engraving keep their warm, natural look for years.
