Wooden yak for crafting – plywood cutout, 3–50 cm

An afternoon at the craft table. The paints are ready, and the children are waiting for the next shape. This wooden yak cutout sits nicely in the hand and has smooth edges. It is ready for brushes, glue and ideas. Just right for your next crafting afternoon. Paint one on its own or a whole herd. The unfinished plywood becomes exactly what you make of it.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away. The wood comes untreated in its natural state and takes paint well.

Why this wooden yak makes a difference every day

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden yak you have designed yourself shows your own style. Place it as a calm nature motif on a shelf, in the window or as a small detail on the laid table. Wood brings a natural feel to the room that plastic cannot match. And every painted piece tells a little of the afternoon it was made.

Material & finish

The yak is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives a precise silhouette and clean, smooth edges that don't fray or splinter. The wood is left unfinished, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. Paint sticks reliably, and you decide on the surface yourself. Wood is a natural material, so every piece turns out a little different. Some are lighter, some darker, with small differences in the grain or tiny knots. This is not a flaw. It makes every cutout one of a kind. Every yak is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden yak

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own yak. In the end, a colourful herd stands on the windowsill, and everyone is proud of it.
• Making Christmas decorations: Decorate small yaks in white and gold. Your Advent decorations get a motif not everyone has.
• For a homemade Advent calendar: Number 24 small cutouts and hang them up. That's your calendar, ready to bring out again every year.
• As a gift tag or for gifts of money: Add a yak with a message to the parcel. Your present looks lovingly made rather than quickly wrapped.
• In a café, shop or at the weekly market: Write on the large cutout with a chalk pen and use it as a price tag in your display. It is quick to set up and can be rewritten at any time.
• In nursery, school or a craft group: With sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, every participant has their own shape. No need to gather them one by one.

Good to know about the yak

For centuries, the yak has been the dependable pack and working animal of the high mountain regions around the Himalayas. There it stands for endurance and modesty. That is why the motif suits mountain and travel themes and winter decorations. It also makes a small gift for anyone with a touch of wanderlust.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do: As the wood is unfinished, an occasional wipe with a dry cloth is enough. Avoid constant damp and wet. Or oil or varnish the yak yourself before using it outdoors. This keeps the surface looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the cutout is left natural – neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, decorate, coat or oil it straight away.

How tall is the yak at a given width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 7 cm. Other sizes follow the same ratio.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, but wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the cutout suitable for children? The laser-cut edges are smooth, so the yak is easy to decorate together with children.
