Running cheetah – plywood cutout, 3–50 cm

The craft table is set and the paints are ready. And right in the middle of it all, a running wooden cheetah sprints across the table. This finely laser-cut plywood silhouette is made for your next crafting afternoon. Just pick the right size. Then you have a blank that is only waiting for your ideas. Paint it, decorate it or leave it natural. You can work on the cutout straight away or simply stand it up as it is.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, gluing or oiling straight away. The wood is untreated and takes paint and glue well.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project – you can choose any width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• There is no sanding needed before little hands get to work. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• You can plan larger projects at nursery, school or in your shop without reordering. The cheetah comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Your design has an outline from the start. The typical brown laser edge frames the silhouette all by itself.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

With a ready-made blank, you skip the drawing and sawing. All your creative time goes into decorating. Crafting with children stays relaxed, because every piece comes out of the bag cleanly cut. And in the end you have a decoration you made rather than bought. You can tell, in the best possible way.

Material & finish

The running cheetah is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it smooth edges and a precise silhouette down to the last detail. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can glue, paint or oil it just as you like. As a natural material, every piece has its own grain. Some are lighter, some darker, and some have small knots. This is not a flaw. It is what makes every cutout one of a kind. The cheetah is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about laser cutting

The brown edge forms naturally during laser cutting. The laser cuts the wood with heat, so the cut edge darkens slightly. This has a nice side effect for you. The silhouette looks finely outlined. It stands out clearly from the background, even without paint.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the wooden cheetah? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can glue on it, paint it, oil it or work on it however you like.

Where does the brown edge come from? The cutout is laser-cut. The slightly darkened edge is typical of this process and gives the design a clear outline.

How tall is the cheetah at the width I choose? The height is proportional to the width. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 2.5 cm.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape is always identical, but the wood is not. As a natural material, every piece has its own grain and shade. Some have small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

What you get is a plain piece of plywood. What you make of it is your very own cheetah – painted, decorated and shown off with pride. Just choose your size and quantity. The rest is up to you.
