About Us

Discover the original handcrafted Woodchart® maps, direct from the source.

We combine precision craftsmanship with a love of geography to create meaningful artwork that connects people to the places they treasure most. Built to inspire, and built to last.

Buying direct from us ensures the quickest processing and shipping speeds, from order to delivery in 2 - 4 days on average.

How do we make them? Starting with a bathymetric chart (the underwater equivalent of a topographic map), we use powerful laser-cutting machines to carve the contours of the landscapes into sheets of Baltic Birch wood and glue them together to create a powerful visual depth. We hand stain any water layers a blue-green (with some variation depending on frame choice) so it's easy to discern land from water, etch major byways into the land, then frame the whole thing in a custom, solid wood frame and protect it with a sheet of durable, ultra-transparent acrylic.

With pieces based on the scenic Pacific Northwest's volcanic coastline, the warm sandy shores of the Southwest and Southeast, the history-rich coastline of the Atlantic, and lakes from all around the continent, we're betting that you'll find one that hits home with you. If you don't, please let us know. We're working diligently to add more charts and we'd love to know what else you'd like to see.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, suggestions, or just to chat at support@woodchart.com
