Wood Chart

Beautiful Wood Charts!

How is it made? Starting with a bathymetric chart (the underwater equivalent of a topographic map), laser-cutters are used to carve the contours into sheets of Baltic birch, then they are glued together to create a powerful visual depth. Select layers are hand stained a blue-green so it's easy to discern land from water, major byways are etched into the land, then a custom, solid wood frame with a sheet of durable, ultra-transparent acrylic is added for protection.

With pieces based on the scenic Pacific Northwest's volcanic coastline, the warm sandy shores of the Southwest and Southeast, the history-rich coastline of the Atlantic, and lakes from all around the continent, you are sure to find one that hits home with you.
