Oval wooden sign in plywood – untreated, 5–40 cm

A jar of homemade jam, a pot of herbs on the windowsill, a small gift for someone you love. Often all that's missing is the right little sign to finish it off. That's exactly what this oval plywood sign is made for. It has a smooth, untreated surface that you can paint, write on or decorate however you like. A plain cutout becomes your own label, plant marker or notice sign.

What changes for you

• You can follow your own ideas. The wood is untreated, so you can decorate, paint, coat or oil it.
• Use the small sizes as wooden labels or plant markers. You can write straight onto them for your jars, gifts and herb pots.
• You'll find the right size for every project. You choose the height from 5 to 40 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No sanding needed. The laser-cut edges are smooth and clean.
• Your sign comes with the typical brown laser edge. It frames the oval like a fine outline.

Why this wooden sign makes a difference every day

A hand-lettered wooden sign says more than any sticker. It shows that someone made it with care. On the gift table, in the herb bed or at the shop counter, the warm natural material looks calm and inviting. You decide what goes on it and how it looks. So in the end it suits you – not the other way round.

Material & finish

The oval sign is made of 3 mm poplar plywood. It is light, keeps its shape and feels good in the hand. Every sign is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. This gives it smooth edges and the typical brown rim. The surface is left natural, neither varnished nor stained. It takes paint, pens and glue well. Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. So every sign is one of a kind.

How to use the wooden sign

• For preserving: write the name and year on a small oval and tie it to the jar. Your jam shelf will look like a farmers' market stall.
• In the herb pot: put a labelled plant marker between the basil and chives. When you cook, you'll grab the right pot without searching.
• For gifts: tie a hand-painted tag to the parcel. The present feels personal even before it's unwrapped.
• In the shop or at the market stall: write the variety and price on a larger oval. Your goods are lovingly presented, and customers' questions answer themselves.
• Crafting with children: each child paints their own door sign. In the end, every child's bedroom has its own little work of art.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise. That's why it keeps its shape surprisingly well, even at 3 mm thick. It warps much less than solid wood of the same thickness. For you, this means your sign stays flat and is easy to write on. It still hangs or stands straight after a long time.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Indoors, an occasional wipe with a dry cloth is enough. The wood is untreated, so protect it from constant moisture. Want to use your sign outside in the flower bed or at a market stall? Paint, oil or varnish it first. That way the surface stays looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden sign straight away? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, pens, varnish and glue well without any preparation.

Why does the sign have a brown edge? The edge is created during laser cutting and is part of the cutout. Many people use it on purpose as a natural border for their design.

Can I use the sign outdoors? Untreated, it is meant for indoor use. With a coat of varnish, stain or oil, you can also use it in the garden or at a market stall.

Do all the signs look the same? The shape and size are identical, but the wood surface is not. As a natural material, each sign has its own grain, a different shade and sometimes small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment your own sign hangs on the jar, in the herb pot or at the counter. And it says exactly what you wanted to say. Just choose your size and get started.
