About Woodchart

Bought from the people who make them

There is no middleman between the workshop and your wall. Buying direct means the quickest processing and shipping we can manage, with orders going from placed to delivered in two to four days on average.

How a chart is made

1. We start with a bathymetric chart, the underwater equivalent of a topographic map. It is the reason the depths on a Woodchart are real rather than decorative.

2. Laser cutters carve the contours of the landscape into sheets of Baltic Birch, one sheet for every layer of depth.

3. An artist glues the layers together by hand. This is where the piece stops being a drawing of a place and starts being a model of one.

4. Water layers are hand stained to suit the frame you have chosen, so the colour is matched to the piece rather than being the same shade every time. Major byways are then etched into the land.

5. The whole thing is framed in custom solid wood and protected behind durable, ultra transparent acrylic.

Where we have charted

The volcanic coastline of the Pacific Northwest. The warm sandy shores of the Southwest and Southeast. The history rich coastline of the Atlantic, and lakes from all around the continent.

We are betting one of them hits home with you. If the water you love is not here yet, tell us. We are adding charts constantly, and we would far rather hear which one from you than guess at it.
