Hiking boot V2 to craft – poplar plywood cutout

The hiking day is coming up. The invitation to the send-off for a journeyman's years on the road is written. Now you just need something that sets the scene. With this wooden hiking boot, you can make exactly that. Craft, paint or write on a hiking boot. Used as a tag, card motif or table decoration, it shows straight away what the occasion is. You can choose a width from 5 to 50 cm. It's made for your next hiking-themed celebration.

What changes for you

• You design the motif just the way you like. The wood is left natural, so you can stick things on it, paint it, oil it or varnish it.
• You get exactly the size your project needs. Choose from a small gift tag to a large hiking boot decoration, in 1 cm steps from 5 to 50 cm.
• Your motif looks finished and lovingly made even before you paint it. The contour lines are lasered into the top and show the details of the boot like a fine drawing.
• You can carry on working straight away, with no sanding needed. The cutout is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You save time and money on bigger projects. You can order the hiking boot singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden hiking boot makes a difference

On a gift, a greetings card or the party table: a motif made of real wood feels warmer and more personal than a printed one. Your guests pick up the little boot and spot the drawn outlines. Then the conversation turns to the next hike. A simple decoration becomes a detail people remember.

Material & finish

The hiking boot is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood in our own production in Pößneck. This creates the typical brown edge. It comes from the laser cut and gives the motif a natural, slightly rustic look. The top has the contour lines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. That's just right if you want to add your own paint, oil or lettering. Wood is a purely natural material, so every piece turns out a little different. Some are lighter, some darker. The grain varies slightly, and there may be small knots now and then. This isn't a flaw. It makes every piece one of a kind.

• On greetings cards for birthdays, retirements or a completed hike: the thin 3 mm wood adds hardly any bulk. It turns the card into a small keepsake.

• In the shop window or on the counter of an outdoor shop, tourist information centre or inn: with decorative hiking boots in different sizes, you can quickly set up a display for the hiking season.

Good to know about the hiking boot

Poplar is one of the lightest native woods. It has a pale, fine surface. That's why the cutout takes paint and glue well. It stays light even in larger widths. Ideal if the motif is going on cards, gifts or a garland.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutout somewhere dry and keep the untreated wood away from constant moisture. Then it will keep its shape and look good for a long time. If you want to use it outdoors or long-term, you can paint or oil the surface yourself.
