The Halloween party is coming up. Or the workroom needs a tongue-in-cheek warning sign. Or your themed party needs a touch of post-apocalyptic mood. And you're looking for a motif everyone recognises straight away. This radiation warning sign in wood gives you exactly that. It's the familiar warning symbol silhouette as an untreated wooden cutout, made for your next craft project. You decide how it ends up looking: painted, decorated with stickers or left as plain wood.

What changes for you

• You'll find exactly the right size for your project. You choose the width freely from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small table scatter piece to a large sign.
• You can start painting, gluing or oiling straight away. The wood comes untreated in its natural state.
• Your decoration looks clean and well thought out. The laser cut gives smooth edges and a crisp outline. No sanding needed.
• Bigger projects are easy to supply too. The sign is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden sign makes a difference every day

A motif everyone understands at first glance saves you a lot of explaining. The radiation symbol looks spooky on the Halloween table, tongue-in-cheek on the hobby room door and right on theme at a themed party. Instead of card or foil, you're holding real wood. It feels smooth and sturdy and carries your design for a long time. So a quick craft idea becomes a decoration that lasts.

Material & finish

The sign is made of 3 mm poplar plywood and laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. That's where the smooth edges come from. It also creates the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a finished look with a strong outline. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and oils stick directly, with no preparation needed. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, fine grain patterns and small knots are part of it. They make every piece unique.

Good to know about the radiation symbol

The three-bladed radiation symbol was developed in 1946 at the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley. Today it's known worldwide as a warning symbol. This instant recognition is exactly what makes it work so well as a decoration motif. Nobody has to guess what it means, whether at a Halloween party or as a sign in your hobby space.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply keep the untreated wood dry and protect it from constant moisture. If you want to use the sign outdoors or in damper rooms, give it a protective finish with paint, varnish or oil. That way the silhouette keeps its shape and looks good for a long time.
