Wooden square cutout in grey – birch plywood, 3–50 cm

You're planning wedding decorations in muted colours, new door signs for the nursery or a wall picture made of geometric shapes. And you need the right base for it. This grey wooden square made from birch plywood is a precisely sized wooden cutout with softly rounded corners. You can paint it, write on it or stick things onto it straight away. With sizes from 3 to 50 cm, it's ready for your next DIY project.

What changes for you

• You get straight to the creative part instead of sawing. Every square is laser cut cleanly and to exact size.
• You don't need to prime or lacquer anything. The grey satin finish is already applied on both sides and lets the wood grain show through.
• You'll find the right size for every project. Choose from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps, individually or in sets.
• The smooth, laser-cut edges are comfortable to work with and won't give you splinters.
• Every piece you hold is one of a kind. Birch wood has a natural grain and small knots, so no two pieces look the same.

Why this wooden square makes a difference in everyday life

A good cutout saves you the hardest part of any craft project: exact sawing and sanding. You put the grey board in front of you and pick up a pen or brush. And you're already working on your actual idea. All squares are exactly the same size. So series like name tags, price tags or wall decorations end up with even spacing, proportions and edges.

Material & finish

The square is made from 3 mm birch plywood. It's light enough to hang up and work with, yet keeps its shape. The raw boards are lacquered grey on both sides in our own production in Pößneck. The water-based satin lacquer leaves the wood grain and small knots visible. This is what makes every square one of a kind. Wood is a natural material. Differences in shade and texture are not a flaw but part of its character. The pieces are cut by laser. This gives smooth edges and a clean finish.

How to use the wooden square

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own square. In the end, a colourful gallery hangs on the pinboard, and you didn't have to saw anything beforehand.
• For a wedding or christening: write on small squares and use them as place cards in a calm grey. The table looks consistent without being cluttered.
• As wall decoration: combine several sizes to create a geometric arrangement with clear lines and even surfaces.
• In a café or at the market: write on the squares with a chalk pen and use them as reusable price and product signs. They're quick to update and look neat.
• In a shop or shop window: use them as a base for logos, offers or seasonal designs. The uniform sizes keep your display tidy.

Good to know about birch plywood

Plywood is made of several thin layers of wood glued crosswise. As a result, it warps much less than solid wood of the same thickness. For you, this means that even large squares up to 50 cm stay flat. They are easy to paint, decorate or mount on the wall.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Wiping now and then with a dry or slightly damp cloth is enough. Avoid constant moisture and wet conditions, as wood is a natural material. This way, the lacquered surface keeps its even satin look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the square lacquered on both sides? Yes, both sides have a grey satin lacquer. So you can choose freely which side faces the front.

Do all squares look exactly the same? Shape and size are identical thanks to laser cutting. However, the grain and small knots vary, because wood is a natural material. Every piece is one of a kind.

Can I paint the squares or stick things onto them? Yes, the smooth, lacquered surface works well with pens, paints and glue for your DIY project.

What does the reference size mean? Height and width are always the same. For example, if you choose 10 cm, you'll receive a square measuring 10 x 10 cm.

A piece of plywood is only the start. What counts is the moment when the grey surface has become your finished sign, your wall decoration or the result of an afternoon of crafting together. Just choose your size and quantity. We'll take care of the clean cutting.
