What changes for you

• Your craft project looks neat, because the pelican is laser-cut and has smooth edges.

Why this wooden pelican makes a difference day to day

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A motif you design yourself tells your own story. The wooden pelican suits seaside themes. It works just as well in a children's room or on a lovingly wrapped gift box. And because you choose the size, it fits exactly where you want it. From a small table scatter piece to a large motif in a shop window.

Material & finish

The pelican is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown line along the cut edges. This detail gives the motif a clear outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. The cutout feels pleasant to touch and is easy to work with. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why paint, glue and oil hold well. Please note: wood is a purely natural material. It varies in lightness and shows different structures. The grain may have small knots or irregularities. This is exactly what makes every piece unique.

Good to know about the pelican

For centuries, the pelican has been a symbol of care and devotion. According to old belief, it feeds its young by sacrificing itself. That's why it still appears in coats of arms and church art today. So it's not just a seaside motif. It's also a fitting choice for gifts that say thank you. For example to parents, godparents or loved ones who are always there for you.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so it's happiest in dry conditions. Keep the cutout away from constant moisture. Or seal it with paint or oil after decorating. Then your pelican will look as good as on the first day for a long time.
