Basketball player 1 in wood – silhouette 5–50 cm

The club party is coming up. Or the birthday table for a young basketball fan needs setting. And you still need the motif that ties it all together. That is exactly what this wooden basketball player is for. It is a clear plywood silhouette that you can paint, decorate or simply use plain. Your basketball decorations get a motif that everyone recognises at once.

What changes for you

• You design your decorations exactly the way you picture them. The wood is untreated, so you can paint, oil, decorate or draw on it.
• Your motif always fits the occasion, from small table scatter to large wall decorations. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away with no finishing work. The silhouette is laser-cut and has smooth edges. No sanding, no splinters.
• You can also kit out larger projects with ease, such as a themed party or club celebration. Sets of 10 to 100 pieces are available.
• You are holding a piece from our own production. Every cutout is made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden basketball player makes a difference

A ready-made decoration set looks the same everywhere. A wooden figure you have designed yourself shows that you have put thought into it. Paint it in club colours, add a name or leave it as natural wood on the table. The basketball motif gives your party, craft afternoon or gift wrapping a common theme. And you don't need to do much for it.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a fine outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. The figure is pleasant to hold and also suitable for children's hands when crafting. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glues and oils adhere well, and you decide on the surface yourself. As a natural material, every piece has its own grain, different shades and sometimes small knots. This is not a flaw. It is what makes every figure one of a kind.

Good to know about basketball

Basketball was invented in 1891 in the USA by Canadian PE teacher James Naismith. It was meant as an indoor game for winter. Today it is one of the most popular ball sports in the world. That is why the player silhouette works so reliably as a motif. From children's birthdays to club parties, everyone sees at a glance what it is about.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wooden figure dry and away from constant moisture. It will then keep its shape and natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil it, you give the surface extra protection. Just choose what suits your project.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the figure? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, pens, glues and oils adhere directly to the surface.

Why does the silhouette have a brown edge? The figure is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge that emphasises the outline. The edges are smooth and don't need sanding.

Do all figures look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and sometimes small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Is the figure suitable for outdoor use? The wood is untreated and should be protected from constant moisture. For outdoor use, we recommend a protective treatment, for example with varnish or oil.

What matters is the moment your guests walk into the room. They see straight away: this is a basketball celebration, lovingly prepared down to the last detail. Just choose your height and quantity and get started.
