🏞️ Lake Taupō Wooden Depth Map – A Handcrafted Tribute to Aotearoa’s Largest Lake
Formed within a massive volcanic caldera, Lake Taupō is the beating heart of the central North Island — vast, still, and steeped in both natural power and personal memory. This extra-large handcrafted wooden map captures the lake’s expansive beauty, from its gently sloping shores to the hidden depth of its underwater basin.
Whether it's your hometown, a favourite summer escape, or a place of deep personal significance, this map brings Taupō’s geography to life in stunning layered relief — perfect as a bold centrepiece for lodges, homes, or special spaces.
Designed and made in New Zealand, each layer is laser-cut from sustainably sourced European Birch plywood, then hand-painted and assembled with care to honour both the land and its stories.
