All five Great Lakes, cut in real wood

Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario hold about 21% of the world's surface fresh water and 84% of North America's, according to the EPA. Lake Michigan is the only one that sits entirely inside the U.S. This map runs from Duluth and Thunder Bay in the west to Ottawa and Kingston in the east, with the cities, states and highways engraved around the shorelines.

How we make it

The land is layered maple, laser-cut along the shoreline and engraved with the cities, states and highways. Underneath, the water is hand-painted blue with the lakes' depth contours scored in, so the shoreline casts a real shadow. Then we frame it in 1/2" stained walnut. Every map is cut, painted and assembled by hand in our Newark, NY shop.
