DIMENSIONS AND MATERIALS
Dimensions are fully custom but i have provided some standard sizes on this listing here with prices if you are looking for a classic wall art size. All carvings are made from 44mm thick hardwoods with the carvings themselves being around 30 to 25mm deep depending on what works best for your location.
The timbers used are an American oak
Machining Process
Each item is computer carved from a 3d model designed by myself generated from both satellite data and LIDAR data available worldwide. This model is then carved into a hardwood slab prepared by myself ahead of time. This carving process is both incredibly accurate and time consuming. A typical carve takes upwards of 12 hours carving time with larger carves stretching over a day of continuous carving. This carving is then taken and hand finished by sanding and applying a matte clearcoat to protect the timber from humidity changes in your home. Finally if you would like your locations name to have a little more contrast i fill the carved name with a black (or any colour of your choosing) epoxy resin. Meaning the name of your location will pop against the timbers natural shades. Below is a short video featuring a time-lapse of part of one of my previously commissioned items being created.
