\"\"<\/a>Turning Digital Terrain Data into 3D work pieces makes for some very interesting results. A couple of recent project for Parks Canada yielded some very beautiful results.

The\u00a0pictures don’t really do justice to the work, its hard to keep your fingers off it, following the contours and peaks.<\/p>\n

First pass with the router removes a large amount of material, easing the workload on the final pass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After finish sanding, OSMO oil is applied to bring out the interesting topographical effect that the plywood laminations produce.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First finishing pass after rough cut, you can see the finished product taking shape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking down the valley into a glacial fed lake, pretty nice scenery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
