Large NS Map With Painted Lighthouse
Got a request from clear across the country in Calgary for one of our wooden Nova Scotia maps. The one he chose was the New Nova Scotia Wood Map with a lighthouse scene painted on the map, except larger. If I recall, Jim said it was to be a Christmas present for his wife who is from Nova Scotia. Glad to help, and time to get to work. Christmas is coming!!

Wood Map of Nova Scotia 12 Feet Long!!
Thats not a typo, this map of Nova Scotia is going to be 12 feet long and guess what, now I want one. We got an email late last fall regarding a wood map. As the emails progressed, it turns out they wanted a really large one to fill the wall of their dental office. Jim drafted a sample of what an eight foot map would look like on the picture they sent of the wall space, with us thinking WOW, that’s big. A few more emails and the finished map size they settled on was 12 feet long.

Layered Flag of Nova Scotia
We’ve had the idea for this project pinned to our whiteboard for some time. With the skid steer in the shop, everything in the yard has come to a standstill. Literally. So we figured now would be a good time to work on this layered flag of Nova Scotia.

So Many Maps…So Little Time
If you’ve been reading along on our scroll saw map making journey, you know we love a good wooden map project. We’ve been busy this spring. Between cutting, splitting, stacking, delivering firewood, cutting lumber on the sawmill, plus our regular jobs and life…we have been busy with map projects of all types. They say variety is the spice of life. Don’t know who ‘they’ are, I think ‘they’ are on to something.

Spalted Birch – before and after
Sometimes even those insignificant pieces of wood can be made into some nice. Case in point, these two boards are an example of what you can start with. Wood that was destined for the fireplace, but that spalted grain just spoke to me 🙂

Newfoundland Map Crib Boards
Ever play crib? It’s a fun game and we used to play but haven’t in a while. Great past time.

Wood Map South River Lake
While we were working on our last map of Mahone Bay, we decided that since we don’t live on the ocean but the next best thing, a lake, we should do a wood map of said lake. And so the wood map of South River Lake was born. Go grab a coffee…I’ll wait here.

Mahone Bay Wood Map
We love different or unusual requests. We have scroll sawn the map of Nova Scotia hundreds of times now. Could probably do it blindfolded. Although 10 fingers come in handy at times.

Large Map Of Scotland
No better way to start of the new year than making a large map. This time it is a map of Scotland and it is going to be shipped to….yup, Scotland.

Map Of NS With Compass
Back again with yet another wood map of Nova Scotia, this time with a compass. We received a request from a lady in Saskatchewan for this map and she asked us to make a compass with her coordinates as well.
