Why this wooden pelican makes a difference day to day

A ready-made blank takes the most time-consuming part off your hands. Instead of tracing templates and sawing them out, you go straight to the fun part: decorating. The clear silhouette works even unpainted, with its smooth surfaces and distinctive beak. Once painted, it can hang on the wall or in the window. Or it can stand on a table laid with a seaside theme. A simple piece of wood becomes a small one-of-a-kind piece that is clearly your own.

Material & finish

The pelican is made from 3 mm plywood and laser-cut. That's why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim. The rim gives the motif a fine, drawn outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oil well. Wood is a natural material, so the shade and grain vary from piece to piece. Small knots may also appear. This isn't a flaw – it makes every piece unique.

• For your seaside decorations: Small pelicans as table scatter, a large figure on the windowsill – and your summer theme runs through the whole room.
• In the shop window or at a market stall: A large pelican silhouette, painted to match your range, draws attention to your display. Passers-by stop to take a look.
• As a gift tag or card decoration: Put a small pelican on a parcel or greetings card. Your present looks lovingly handmade rather than bought.

Good to know about the pelican

As a coastal and water bird, the pelican is a classic motif for anything maritime. That's why it fits so naturally into beach, holiday and bathroom decorations. Since the Middle Ages it has also been a symbol of care and devotion. People used to say it fed its young at great sacrifice to itself. This also makes it a fitting motif for small gifts, for example when you make a Mother's Day present.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store it somewhere dry and dust it when needed. Then its natural look will last a long time. Don't expose the untreated wood to constant moisture. Painting, glazing or oiling it makes the surface more resistant.
