Frequently Asked Questions?
Why don't 3D River maps work the same way as 3D lake maps?
Lakes have measurable depth data that creates beautiful, layered dimension, beautiful blue water tones, and intricate contour detail. Rivers typically dont.
How do you create the Blue in your lake maps? Is the top piece glass?
The blue water is created using layered Baltic birch and hand-poured deep epoxy with pigment mica powder - and the the glossy glass-like top is another hand-poured epoxy layer, not glass.
Why does it take so long to create a 3D lake map?
Because each lake map is designed, cut, built, poured, cured, sanded, and framed entirely by hand in my workshop.
There is no outsourcing. No pre-made frames. No mass production.
Can I customize my lake map to make it more personal?
YES! Of course :) - Every lake map can be customized to tell your story.
Can you create ANY lake map - or just Montana Lakes?
I can create most lakes - not just Montana - as long as reliable bathymetric depth data is available.
Is Shipping included in the final cost?
Shipping is invoiced separately and is not included in Custom Signs or Lake Maps. Rates varies size and weight of each custom art piece. Rates also inflate during the holidays which is beyond my control.
