The one who learned to swim at the Blue Lake. The Rotorua local who can name all eleven without thinking about it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven lakes in one piece - Rotorua with Mokoia Island sitting out in the middle of it, Rotoiti running east towards Rotomā and Rotoehu, Ōkataina tucked in behind, and Tarawera and Rotomahana lying below the mountain with Tikitapu, Ōkareka, Rerewhakaaitu and Okaro scattered through the caldera country between them. The land climbs away from the water in ten steps, and the lakes drop through four beneath it. Laser-cut from premium European Birch in our Auckland studio, and hand-painted layer by layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow they're made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts with the lakes themselves - bathymetric data recording the actual depth of each lake bed, contour by contour. The wood is laser-cut to those exact contours, painted in graduated tones from shallow turquoise to deep blue, and assembled entirely by hand by our team in Auckland. Every map is made this way - slowly, carefully, until the lake beds come to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArea:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Rotorua Lakes, Bay of Plenty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL - 80 × 80cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal layers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopography:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1060m, 960m, 860m, 760m, 660m, 560m, 460m, 360m, 260m, 160m, lake surface, -20m, -40m, -60m, -80m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birch Plywood, MDF, water-based paint, timber oil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built into the map - comes strung and ready to hang\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour map is made in our Auckland studio once you place your order - we don't keep stock on the shelf.
