VisualizationSeahorse SVG Laser Cut File, Nautical Ornament DXF, Beach House Wall Decor, Coastal Christmas Tree Hanger
A tall seahorse in profile with a bumpy crown, long snout, spiky back fin and a tail rolled into a tight spiral, its body divided by wide engraved bands. At 90 × 155.8 mm (3.54 × 6.14 in) it is a large ornament, and the 4 mm hole above the crown makes it hang upright.

How to make it
- 01Open the file and check the size: 155.8 mm from crown to tail and 90 mm across, hole at the top.
- 02Set the dark bands and outline strokes to fill engrave; the wide areas look best with a fine line interval.
- 03Cut the outline and inspect the small fin triangles and crown bumps on the first piece.
- 04Paint between the bands in sea colours, seal, and hang with blue cord or natural jute.
Crown, fin and spiral tail
The seahorse faces right with its snout stretched forward and a round dot eye. A row of rounded bumps forms the crown, and a spiky fin sticks out from its back on the left. The chest and belly are crossed by thick dark bands that cut the body into segments, a bit like the lead lines in stained glass. At the bottom the tail turns into a heavy spiral. Wide lines and generous gaps give it a bold, graphic look that reads from far away, more like a mosaic tile than a nature drawing.
A tall piece with a lot of engraving
Because the bands and outline strokes are thick, the engraving takes a while: an estimated 10 min 14 s for a 10 W diode, 3 min 33 s for a 40 W CO2 and 2 min 28 s for a 100 W CO2 in 3 mm plywood. The fin spikes are short triangles, so they cut cleanly. The height limits nesting to 6 per 300 × 400 mm sheet and 12 per 600 × 400 mm sheet. Scaling the seahorse down for a small tree also shortens the run.

Questions about this file
Can I make it smaller for a regular tree?
Yes. The bands and fin are bold, so the design stays clear when you scale it down. Check the crown bumps and fin points on a test cut at the new size.
What colours suit a coastal look?
Fill the spaces between the bands with turquoise, aqua or coral paint and leave the bands dark. A whitewash on the rest of the wood gives a driftwood feel.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or beach house wall?
Indoors, yes. Seal all faces and edges with varnish if the room is humid, or cut it in acrylic, which does not swell.
Can I add a place name for a souvenir?
Engrave a short place name on the back, or along a plain belly segment between two bands before cutting.
Will the curled tail be weak?
No. The tail spiral is filled and wide, so it is one of the strongest parts of the piece. The narrowest points are the fin tips.
