As a trained cartographer, I also make 3D wooden maps as art. Here’s one of Manchester I did recently.

1. * That’s really cool. The level of detail just draws you in.

   * How did you find yourself becoming a trained cartographer?

2. That is impressive.

   I love maps – I have always wanted to see someone put together a giant map of the UK using the Ordnance Survey ‘Explorer’ maps (at 1 : 25,000 scale) – this would need a large open space like a school gym.

3. I love maps like these. How much would it cost to buy one?

4. I love this!

5. Stunning! How long does something like this take to make?

6. I’d buy one of these of Manchester if you decide to sell them.

7. Obviously those blue parts there are the land.

8. Marvellous. I assume you use a CNC to do this? I guess it would be difficult to include building topography?

9. Oh wow, what is your technique for making them?

10. I got one for my wife a couple of years ago. Great quality and so detailed.
