Crafting with wood – scorpion yoga pose, poplar plywood

A small thank-you for your yoga teacher, a lovingly made window decoration for the studio or a quiet afternoon at the craft table. With this wooden cutout of the scorpion yoga pose (Vrishikasana), you have a motif you can design exactly as you like. The natural poplar plywood is ready for your next craft idea. Paint it, glue things on, oil it or simply leave it natural.

What changes for you

• You design the motif exactly to your taste – because the wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated or oiled.
• Your project always fits, whether it's table scatter or a wall picture. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can carry on working without any sanding – because the laser-cut edges are smooth.
• Crafting in larger numbers is easy, for example for a yoga class or a party. The cutout is also available in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You hold a neatly finished piece from our own production – made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look generic. A motif you design yourself tells your story. The wooden scorpion brings yoga visibly into your space without being intrusive: in the window, on a gift or on the wall of your practice room. And crafting itself creates exactly the kind of focused calm that also belongs on the yoga mat.

Material & finish

The 3 mm poplar plywood is light in the hand and easy to work with. The cutout is laser-cut. This gives it the typical brown edge, which shows the motif with a clear, fine outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why paints, glues and oils adhere reliably. As a natural material, every piece has its own shade and grain. Small knots or irregularities are part of it. They make every cutout one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use the wooden cutout

• Crafting with children or friends: everyone paints their own scorpion. In the end, a colourful garland that is all your own hangs in the room.

• For crafting money gifts: a little scorpion decorates the voucher for the next yoga class. An envelope becomes a thoughtful surprise.

Good to know about the scorpion

Vrishikasana is Sanskrit and simply means "scorpion". The pose is one of the challenging inversions in yoga. It stands for balance, patience and long practice. That's why the motif works so well as a token of recognition. Give it as a small gift to someone who sticks with their practice. Or put it up in the studio where everyone can see it, to motivate people to keep going.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the untreated cutout in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. Then the wood keeps its natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil the motif, you also protect the surface. And you give it exactly the shade that suits your interior.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the wooden cutout? Yes. The wood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well – ideal for decorating and painting.

Why does every cutout look slightly different? Wood is a natural material. Shade and grain vary, and small knots are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Where does the brown edge on the motif come from? The cutout is laser-cut. The brown edge forms during cutting. The laser also leaves smooth edges that need no sanding.

How wide is the motif at a given height? As a reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 7 cm. The other sizes scale accordingly.

Where is the cutout made? In our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Every order is cut there.

A piece of plywood becomes more than that. It happens the moment your own scorpion hangs on a gift or on the studio wall – and someone takes a closer look. Just choose your size and quantity and start creating.
