Wooden locomotive – plywood loco silhouette, 5–50 cm

A child's birthday party is coming up. Or you want the christening decorations to be something special. Or your Advent wreath still needs one last loving detail. Either way, you are looking for a blank you can design just the way you like. This wooden locomotive is made for your craft table. It is a clear loco silhouette in plywood. It comes untreated and ready for paint, glue or simply the natural wood tone. A simple cutout becomes your very own decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or lettering straight away – because the wood is untreated and takes paints, varnishes and oils well.
• Your decoration fits your project exactly, from a small table scatter piece to a large wall piece. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Working with it is comfortable and there is no risk of splinters at the edges. That is because the locomotive is laser cut and has smooth edges.
• When crafting with groups, you don't have to piece orders together. The wooden loco is available singly or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You are holding a piece of nature rather than mass-produced plastic. Every wooden locomotive has its own grain and is one of a kind.

Why this wooden locomotive makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A cutout you design yourself carries your own touch. Painted in bright colours in a child's bedroom, lightly oiled on the festive table or as a place name card: you can use the plywood loco silhouette in many different ways, depending on how you design it. And because you choose the size yourself, it fits exactly where you need it.

Material & finish

The locomotive is laser cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it smooth edges and the typical brown edge that traces the silhouette like a fine outline. The wood is left natural, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. You can stick things on it, paint it or oil it, whatever suits your project. Wood is a purely natural material. Lightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That is what makes every wooden loco one of a kind. It is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia, and neatly finished.

How to use the wooden locomotive

• During Advent: hang small locos on ribbon or add them to an arrangement. Your Christmas decorations get a playful wooden motif.

• In the shop window or on the counter: a large loco up to 50 cm wide gets noticed. It tells your seasonal theme without elaborate decorating.

Good to know about the locomotive

Few motifs bring back childhood memories as reliably as the locomotive. Think of the wooden train set in the bedroom or the steam engine in old pictures. That is why the loco silhouette suits many occasions. Use it as decoration in a child's bedroom, as a motif for the first day of school or as a wooden cutout for anyone who loves trains.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. As the plywood is untreated, it is best to store the loco somewhere dry and keep it away from constant moisture. Painting or oiling it gives the surface extra protection. That way your decoration stays looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden loco or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is left natural. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or decorate it in other ways.

Where does the brown edge come from? The locomotive is laser cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which highlights the shape like a drawn outline. The edges are smooth.

How tall is the loco at a given width? As a reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 5.5 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Do all the cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in lightness. It may show small irregularities in the grain or knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

This is more than just a wooden cutout. It is about the moment a simple wooden loco becomes your own little creation. You paint it, write on it and then give it away or put it on display with joy. Simply choose your size and quantity and get started.
