The Process
1. Data Sourcing
A range of data is sourced to make your one of a kind map.
This includes NASA topographic data, street vectors, satellite imagery, and waterways.
When ordering just let us know the focus address, and the map will be aligned to this location.
2. Drafting
Next is cleaning up all of the data to get it ready for laser cutting.
A custom legend will be drafted. Then labels will be added for place names and locations that are important to you or the recipient.
I will email you the first digital draft for your review. We will then incorporate any adjustments you would like and provide you with up to two more drafts to get everything just right.
3. Laser Fabrication
The wood for your map is painted, sanded and varnished. Next it is laser engraved and cut.
Your piece is then assembled, and mounted in a Tasmanian Oak frame ready for presentation.
4. Packaging & Dispatch
Your piece is now securely bubble wrapped and packaged.
It is promptly dispatched to your door, and shipping updates will be sent to your email.
Choose between two distinct styles to capture your special place:
Topographic - Featuring dramatic 3D contours that showcase the natural terrain. Perfect for rural and rugged landscapes.
Relief - Elegantly raised roads with engraved terrain detail, ideal for urban locations.
Both styles beautifully render larger areas like states and nations.
