    New Wood Map

    February 21, 2020 /

    Before I show you how we made this map, any guesses where it is? I’ll give you a hint. It’s on the east coast of the US.

    Christmas Must Be Coming…

    November 5, 2018 /

    Usually around this time of year there are a flurry of orders for wood maps. So far this year is no exception. We keep some stock on hand but of course if it is painted black the customer asks for navy. That is just the nature of the beast. We got smart and got a little ahead of things by cutting out the items but not painting or assembling them…just yet. Frames will be added later too.

    Making an End Grain Wood Map of Nova Scotia

    August 15, 2018 /

    We’ve had some sugar maple wood slices in the paint room drying for several months now. We’ve made platters and trays and cookies too. Now its time to try something new. How about scroll cutting sugar maple end grain and see what happens? The short video below shows the snail’s pace that is needed.

    A Few More Map Orders… Everyone Different!

    July 25, 2018 /

    A few weeks ago we had an order come in for a white washed map of Prince Edward Island (PEI). While any province or country can be scrolled out of wood, the islands are most easily recognizable. Again we knew we could get 2 map projects out of one cutting session.

    Another Very Large Map of Nova Scotia

    July 13, 2018 /

    If you remember when we made the custom map of Nova Scotia on a grey weathered backer board a few weeks ago, then you remember we had the negative ready to create a second map. So that’s what we did. Here is a close up of the details on the Cape Breton end of the map. The dime is there for size and scale.

    Making a Large Nova Scotia Map

    June 25, 2018 /

    We had another order come in for a custom size map of Nova Scotia. The customer requested it be on a rustic backboard measuring 48 x 24 inches. That makes for a large, heavy, finished piece. Here is the template we printed out for this project.

    Adding Glass to a Nova Scotia Map

    May 30, 2018 /

    We recently sold another wood map of Nova Scotia. I just love the colors in this one. I know, I know…I say that about each one, but it’s true. The customer requested that glass be added. This will be a first for this type of project. Since it was already framed, it had to be taken apart and reframed. Here is the map we were going to tackle.

    Large Wooden Cape Breton Map

    May 2, 2018 /

    As I mentioned on Monday, we had a custom order for a large 24 x 32 inch wood map of Cape Breton. For those of you unfamiliar, it is an island joined to the mainland of Nova Scotia by a causeway. This is how all maps start out, especially the larger ones.

    Weekend Projects end of April

    April 30, 2018 /

    I swear our next woodworking project might have to be to build an Arc. Seriously. What is it with weekends and rain.  And this time of year it is most days in between as well. The good news is the lawn is greening up nicely, the bad news is we are getting closer to mowing season. Oh well, there are plenty of projects to keep us busy indoors.

    What a difference a day makes! Or to be more exact, what a difference one snow storm makes. Here was Jim on the weekend, happily sawing logs.
