Birch puzzle piece – red lacquered wooden cutout

An empty bit of wall in the children's room, a half-finished craft project on the table – and you're still missing the shape that brings it all together. This red puzzle piece made of birch plywood is exactly that kind of wooden cutout. It is lacquered on both sides and available in sizes from 3 to 50 cm. That makes it a good fit for your next DIY project. You don't need to saw, sand or paint – you simply start with the enjoyable part.

What changes for you

• You save yourself the saw, the brush and the drying time – because the puzzle piece arrives already lacquered red on both sides.
• You get clean, accurately sized shapes with no finishing work – thanks to laser cutting with smooth edges.
• Your project really fits in the end – because you choose the size yourself, from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You're holding a genuine natural product. The satin lacquer lets the grain and small knots show through. Every piece is one of a kind.
• You can plan bigger projects without doing the maths – because the puzzle piece comes individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden puzzle piece makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made wooden cutout takes care of the tedious part and leaves you the enjoyable one: designing. Use it on the wall of a children's room, as the base for a sign you letter yourself or as part of a game idea. The clear puzzle shape gives your project structure and a consistent base straight away. You're not decorating with off-the-shelf plastic. You're decorating with a piece of wood that clearly looks like wood.

Material & finish

The puzzle piece is made from 3 mm birch plywood. It is lacquered in colour on both sides in our own production in Pößneck. The water-based satin lacquer protects the surface and still lets the wood grain show. The pieces are laser-cut, so the edges are smooth and the shape is accurate to size. Wood is a purely natural material. Variations in shade, fine textures and small knots are part of it. They are not a flaw – they are exactly what makes each piece unique. Made in Thuringia, Germany.

Good to know about the puzzle piece

The jigsaw puzzle was invented in England in the 18th century. The mapmaker John Spilsbury cut maps along the country borders to teach children geography. So the puzzle shape has always stood for playful learning and for pieces that belong together. That is why it works so well for children's rooms, learning games and decorations that show togetherness.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: if needed, simply wipe the lacquered puzzle piece dry or with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid constant moisture, as wood is a natural material. That way the satin surface keeps its look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the puzzle piece lacquered on both sides? Yes, both sides are lacquered red and finished with water-based satin lacquer. So you can also hang it freely and show it from both sides.

Is the puzzle piece suitable for crafting and further decorating? Yes, the accurately sized cutout with smooth edges is designed as a base shape for DIY projects, home-made signs and game ideas.
