Why this wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday life

A motif everyone recognises straight away needs no long explanation. The virus silhouette with face mask makes a piece of recent history tangible. Use it to start a conversation in class, as part of a themed display or as a small keepsake you design yourself. You have a ready-made base shape in your hands. So you can focus fully on creating.

Material & finish

The cutout is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim, which gives the motif a clear outline. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue or oil well. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade and grain always vary slightly, and small knots are normal. That's exactly what makes every piece unique. Clean finishing means you can get started straight away.

Good to know about the corona motif

The virus gets its name from the Latin word “corona” for crown. Under the electron microscope, its shell with its projections looks like a wreath. The cutout picks up exactly this distinctive silhouette. That's why the motif is recognised at a glance. It works well for teaching material, themed displays and keepsakes.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutout in a dry place and simply wipe off dust with a soft cloth. As the wood is untreated, avoid prolonged moisture. You can protect the surface further with paint, varnish or oil and design it just as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the cutout is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint it, stick things on it or oil it as you like.

Where does the dark rim on the edges come from? The brown rim is created during laser cutting and is typical of this process. It gives the motif a clear, clean outline.

Do all cutouts look the same? Not quite. Wood is a natural material. Shade and grain vary, and small knots may occur. That's exactly what makes every piece unique.

Can I use the motif outdoors? The wood is untreated and therefore intended for indoor use at first. If you paint, varnish or oil it, you can prepare it for outdoor use.

Is the wood easy to paint? Yes, the untreated natural finish takes paint well. Use a brush or a pen, or use it as a base for gluing on other materials.
