A Hauraki Gulf map being sanded in the workshop

Built in our workshop, layer by layer.

Each map starts with real depth and land data, not stylised generic shapes. Every layer is cut from birch plywood, hand-painted, and assembled one at a time in our Ellerslie workshop.

  • Made to order in around 2 weeks.
  • Real data, so no two locations are ever the same.
  • Built to last: birch plywood, water-based paint, timber oil.
  • Ready to hang: frame built in, arrives strung.

Pieces already in their homes.

Every map has a story. A bach, a first sailing trip, somewhere someone learned to swim. Here are a few from the community.
