Wooden raven – raven cutout for crafting, 5–50 cm

Outside, the days are getting shorter. Inside, the craft supplies are out on the table. And the windowsill still needs an autumn motif. A sitting wooden raven is made for this. It's a clear bird silhouette in plywood. You can paint it, decorate it or simply stand it up in its natural state. In no time, a plain cutout becomes your own Halloween decoration or atmospheric autumn display.

What changes for you

• You get exactly the size that suits your idea. The wooden raven is available in any width from 5 to 50 cm, in 1 cm steps.
• You can start straight away with paint, glue or oil. The wood is untreated and takes any kind of finish.
• Your motif looks neat even up close. That's thanks to the smooth laser-cut edges with their typical brown rim.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The raven comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Decorate with confidence. The cutout is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden raven makes a difference

Ready-made decorations often look the same in every home. A blank you design yourself shows your own style. Paint it jet black for the window, use it as table scatter or add it to a wreath or garland. The calm silhouette brings an autumn mood into the room without being too much. You choose the size and design yourself. So the raven fits right into your home instead of just standing somewhere.

Material & finish

The raven is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives clean, smooth edges and the typical brown laser rim. The rim outlines the motif with a fine contour. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. So you can glue, paint or oil it straight away. Wood is a natural material and never completely uniform. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This makes every cutout one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use your wooden raven

• Crafting with children on an autumn afternoon: everyone paints their own raven. By evening, a whole flock of ravens is sitting at the window.
• As Halloween decoration on the buffet table: place a few ravens painted black between candles and pumpkins. The table instantly looks dark and spooky.
• On a wreath or garland: thread or glue on several small ravens. Your door or banister gets a seasonal decoration made from simple material.
• In a café or bakery during autumn: use ravens in different sizes in your window display. They are quick to set up and suit the season. Afterwards, simply store them away.
• For nurseries, schools or craft classes: with a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, every child has their own blank. You don't need to buy more one by one.

Good to know about the raven

The raven has long been seen as a mysterious companion of the dark seasons. In Norse mythology, Odin's ravens Huginn and Muninn sat on his shoulders. And since Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, the bird has been firmly part of the spooky imagery of Halloween. That's why the silhouette suits autumn and Halloween decorations so well – from window pictures to table decorations.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Untreated plywood likes to be kept dry. That way it keeps its shape and its natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil the raven, you protect the surface even more. You also give it exactly the look that suits your decoration.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the raven straight away? Yes. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paint, glue and oil stick directly to the surface.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The raven is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown laser rim, which highlights the outline. The edges are smooth and cleanly cut.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood doesn't. As a natural material, plywood varies in shade and grain. Small knots are normal. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the raven available in larger quantities? Yes. Besides single pieces, you can order sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. They are handy for craft groups, schools or shop displays.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment your own raven sits at the window and autumn has arrived in your home. Just choose your size – single or in a set – and get started.
