Wooden wild boar – boar head for crafts & decor, 5–50 cm

The craft afternoon is planned. Paints and brushes are ready. All you need now is a motif that really stands out. This wooden boar head is made for exactly that. It is a wild boar head in plywood with a finely drawn face. You can paint it, stick things on it or decorate with it just as it is. A simple idea turns into a decoration people enjoy picking up.

What changes for you

• You start creating straight away instead of sawing it out yourself – because the boar head arrives laser-cut with smooth edges.
• Your motif looks lively before a single brushstroke – thanks to the engraved contour lines that draw the face and details on the front.
• You decide how big your wild boar will be. Choose a width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps to suit your project.
• You are free to use paint, oil or glue – because the wood is untreated and takes any technique.
• You can plan bigger activities with ease, such as crafts with children or club decorations. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.

Why this wooden boar head makes a difference every day

A good craft motif does half the work for you. The shape is right and the proportions fit. You can focus entirely on decorating. Use it as autumn table decoration, in the window or as a gift for a hunter. The wild boar head gives your decoration a clear theme. Wood looks calm and natural. So it fits quietly into your home instead of pushing itself to the front.

Material & finish

The boar head is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it clean, smooth edges and the typical brown rim, which makes the motif look handmade. The front has the engraved contour lines with the face and details. The back is left plain. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. This means you can easily paint it, stick things on it or oil it. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain and may occasionally have small knots. This is not a flaw. It makes every piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the wild boar

In German hunting language, the male wild boar is called a “Keiler”. As a motif, the boar has always been part of hunting tradition. In German-speaking countries, the pig is also a symbol of good luck. Just think of the saying “Schwein gehabt” (literally “had a pig”, meaning “got lucky”). So the boar head works in two ways. It suits decorations for hunting and game dishes. It also makes a little lucky charm, for example for lovingly wrapped gifts of money.

Care & durability

There is not much to do. Stored in a dry place, the untreated cutout keeps its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the boar head outdoors, simply protect the wood with paint, varnish or oil. Then you can enjoy your motif for a long time.
