Decagon – ten-sided wooden shape in plywood, 3–50 cm

You're sitting at the craft table and your paints are ready. All you need now is the right base shape for your idea. This wooden decagon (also called a ten-sided shape or 10-gon) is a cleanly laser-cut blank. It becomes exactly what you make of it. It's made for your next decoration project. Choose a width from 3 to 50 cm to suit your plans.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or writing on it straight away. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil directly.
• You can carry on without sanding. The edges are laser-cut and smooth, with the typical brown rim.
• You'll find the right size for every project. You choose the width freely from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You're well covered for bigger projects too. Order the decagon singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You're holding a piece of craftsmanship from Thuringia. It's made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck.

Why this wooden decagon makes a difference in everyday life

A clear geometric shape brings calm to any design. Use it as a base for wall art, as a name sign or as part of your table decoration. Instead of sawing it yourself, you use a ready-made cutout with clean edges. That leaves your time for the fun part: creating. A simple decagon becomes a small one-of-a-kind piece for your home.

Material & finish

The decagon is made from 3 mm thick plywood and is laser-cut. That gives it smooth edges and the characteristic brown rim. In many projects, the rim even makes a nice contrast. The surface is untreated, not varnished and not glazed. You decide whether to paint it, oil it, cover it or leave it natural. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This makes every decagon one of a kind and is not a defect.

How to use the decagon

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own decagon. In the end, a colourful gallery hangs in the bedroom window.
• For family celebrations: put a small decagon with a name at each place. Your guests will find their seats with a smile.
• For your home: combine several sizes as wall decoration. Simple wooden shapes turn into a calm, natural arrangement.
• In a shop or at the market: label them as price tags or product tags. They look uniform and are set up in minutes.
• In the workshop or at school: use it as a hands-on model for geometric shapes. It's sturdier than paper and can be used again and again.

Good to know about the decagon

The word decagon comes from Greek: "deka" means ten and "gonia" means angle. So it simply means a ten-sided shape. This shape is less common in everyday life than a circle or square. That's why it draws attention. It's a quiet advantage for decorations, signs and creative projects that should stand out without being loud.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply store it in a dry place and the untreated wood will keep its shape and look good for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the decagon outdoors, protect it first with paint, varnish or oil.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the plywood is untreated – neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, decorate, stain or oil it directly.

Where does the brown rim come from? The decagon is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown rim. The laser cut also gives smooth edges that need no sanding.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape and dimensions are the same. But wood is a natural material, so shade, grain and small knots can vary. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the decagon suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs indoors. For outdoor use, protect it first with varnish, paint or oil.

A piece of plywood is just the start. The best part is when a simple shape becomes your idea – painted, labelled, hung up and admired with pride. Simply choose your size and quantity and get started.
