Earlier this year I made a map, of sorts. It was a map I have planned to make for years, but never found the time. It’s a artistic representation of a bathymetric map of Rock Lake near Akron, Indiana.
When I was a kid, we could go visit a trailer my grand parents had at the lake. My grandparents retired there years later and built a house on the hill where the trailer used to sit.
I have many fond memories of fishing, canoeing and goofing around in this lake. I made it as a gift to my grandparents, and mailed it to my grandfather.
Each layer is a sheet of baltic birch plywood laser to to indicated two foot increments in depth. The map is framed in some beech scraps from a magnet-board frame I made for Campbell and splines are from leftover meranti decking.
