Wooden Christmas Ornament – Animal 16

Natural plywood, cut on our own laser here in the workshop and sanded by hand before it ships. The wood is left bare — no varnish, no plastic coating — so it keeps the grain and the smell of real wood. Several motifs are backed with coloured felt or paper, which gives the shape contrast against a dark tree.

Yes. Engraving at 0.1 mm precision is what this workshop does every day, and there is no minimum quantity: one ornament with a child's name and a run of several hundred for a company are both ordinary orders here. A personalised piece starts as a drawing, so ask and you get a price for the quantity you actually want.

No, and that is deliberate — but it has a consequence worth knowing before you buy. Bare wood is not a wipe-clean surface. Water leaves a mark on it and damp will warp a thin cut-out, so it belongs on the tree and in a dry cupboard, not near a radiator humidifier or a steamy kitchen.

Dry, at room temperature, lying flat in a box rather than loose in a bag where fine cut-out details catch on each other and snap. Dust it with a dry cloth. Do not wash it and do not soak it — wood that has been wet does not come back to the shape it was cut in.

Yes. A custom motif begins as a drawing, which we prepare before anything is cut, and that is also why there is no price list for it — the figure depends on the drawing and the quantity. Send the idea, a sketch or a logo through the consultation form and you get a real number back.

In our own family workshop in Gemer, Slovakia. Everything is cut here on our machine and finished by hand. Own capacity is around 10,000 pieces a month, and larger runs go out together with two partner workshops.
