Wooden tornado for crafts – plywood silhouette, 3–50 cm

You're planning a weather-themed craft afternoon. The children are already waiting eagerly at the table. But you still need a shape that not everyone has. A wooden tornado from our own production is just right for this. It's an unusual silhouette made of untreated plywood. You can paint it or stick things on it however you like. Or leave it natural and use it in your decorations. This turns a simple wooden cutout into a piece you've designed exactly the way you want.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, gluing or oiling straight away. The wood is untreated and takes paint and glue well.
• You can work without sandpaper and without risk of injury when crafting with children. That's thanks to the smooth, laser-cut edges.
• You'll find exactly the size your project needs. The tornado is available from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can easily supply bigger projects too, such as for a nursery group or a school class. Sets of 10 to 100 pieces are available.
• You get a distinctive shape rather than mass-produced goods. It's made in our own production in Pößneck.

Why this wooden tornado makes a difference

An unusual shape turns an ordinary craft afternoon into a small project that people will talk about. Instead of the same old standard shapes, you hold a silhouette that sparks curiosity. It leaves room for your own ideas. Use it as table scatter, as a hanging decoration or on a themed table. The tornado brings movement to your designs with no effort at all.

Material & finish

The tornado is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which gives the silhouette a clear outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You'll feel it as soon as you pick up the cutout. Wood is a purely natural material. It isn't always the same shade, its grain varies and it may have small knots. That's what makes every piece unique. It's not a flaw, it's the nature of wood.

Good to know about the tornado

The word "tornado" goes back to the Spanish "tornar", meaning "to turn". This turning motion is what makes the silhouette so appealing. It brings movement to any surface. That's why it's especially suited to projects about weather, forces of nature and movement. Use it anywhere from a science themed table to unusual party decorations.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so it's best to keep the tornado dry and avoid constant moisture. If you paint or oil it, you give the surface extra protection. That way your work will look good for a long time.
