New maps of Seattle in 10x8 and 20x15 framed options. Seattle was home for a big part of my life, so I really stressed the details on this one. Will debut this weekend. Then will be available on the site at 10am on Monday. Got a few ideas in the hopper - but what do you think I should make next?

Just dropped new maps of the San Juan Islands, Bellingham Bay, and updates to Crater Lake and Mt. St. Helens 48contours.com/blogs/news/n...

If it looks like it took forever to assemble…you’d be correct. Really happy with how my San Juan Islands map is turning out. This will be available on the shop and at my upcoming markets soon! #woodart #pnw #sanjuanislands

Here's how Orcas Island is looking - both at full size (8") and the smaller variant (~4"). Definitely need to ditch the roads in the latter - just too busy and small for it to work.. These will both have several layers of elevation, but just getting a sense of the engraving for now.

For context - most of my finished maps thus far have had very few (if any) roads. For instance - here's Crater Lake - see the east rim drive on the bottom left. But some of the new locations I'm working on are a very different story.

Starting to model the San Juan Islands too for one of my 3D wood maps. But not sure if I like the look of the roads or not (Red lines). WDYT?

Getting the GIS work for a Bellingham, WA map done today. Hope to have these produced for some spring markets soon!

Spending a little time on GIS workflow & revisiting an early model of crater lake w/ both topo and bathymetric contours. Lot of steps to this process - and the more I do in GIS, the easier it is in Illustrator and the laser later.

New trail runners. Gonna break these in on the chuckanuts tomorrow. Thanks Bbay running!

And assembled. About 16 layers in this one, each scaled to 600’ of vertical elevation.

Went to add Bluesky to my site footer. RIP. Guess it's going in twitter's slot temporarily until I can figure out how to add it manually.

Chain lakes loop trail near Mt. Baker from a few months back. Relatively haze free views of Shuksan & Baker, a rarity in our lengthy summer wildfire season.

Getting started on assembly of my first order of 2025- Mt Baker. My maps cut out flat and I puzzle piece them together. This one will be 20x15”

Recent custom order I made of Lake Tahoe with 1000' contours and depth layers of the lake. This one is 8x10" in a cherry frame. Cheers to USGS for the bathymetric data - not always easy to find for lakes. #topographicmap #woodart
