Cook Strait, New Zealand - Large

🌬️ Cook Strait Wooden Ocean Depth Map – A Handcrafted Map of Aotearoa’s Wildest Waters

Where the North and South Islands meet, the powerful waters of Cook Strait flow between them — a rugged, dynamic stretch of ocean steeped in history, movement, and meaning. This handcrafted wooden map captures the dramatic bathymetry of the strait in layered detail, from shallow coastal shelves to deep channels that shape New Zealand’s maritime landscape.

Made right here in New Zealand, each map is laser-cut from premium European Birch plywood, then hand-painted and assembled with care to showcase the Cook Strait’s unique underwater terrain.
