🌊 Kāwhia & Aotea Harbours Wooden Ocean Depth Map – A Handcrafted Tribute to the West Coast’s Quiet Giants

Nestled along the west coast of the Waikato, Kāwhia and Aotea Harbours are rich in natural beauty, cultural significance, and coastal calm. This handcrafted wooden map captures both harbours in stunning layered detail — from their winding tidal inlets to the subtle bathymetry of their sheltered waters.

Whether it’s fishing, foraging, or connecting with ancestral lands, these harbours hold deep meaning for many. This piece brings their contours to life — a quiet, elegant reminder of a place close to the heart.

Each map is designed and built in New Zealand using laser-cut layers of sustainable European Birch plywood, then hand-painted and assembled with care.
