Woodcut Maps

Woodcut Maps is a San Francisco-based technology, design and on-demand manufacturing company that has updated the old craft of wood marquetry with precision laser cutting while opening up the design process to customers. Customers design map-based wall art and iPhone backs using Woodcut Maps' online design tool, and the company's team of skilled artisans breaths life into their creations. The resulting heirloom-quality artwork makes the perfect personalized gift for housewarmings, birthdays, anniversaries (5th is "wood"), weddings and holidays. Over 67,000 Woodcut Maps have been designed by users from around the globe, and each has its own story to tell. A sampling of some: • “It shows northern Morocco and southern Spain: the region that my husband, a scholar, studies.” • “Wedding location and first home for a 5th ‘wood’ anniversary gift.” • “My brother's orienteering spot.” • “It’s the town in Africa where my girlfriend was born and grew up.” • “Campgrounds of a medieval festival that my husband, friends and I go to every year.” • “Husband’s hometown and where he works. We moved, so it’s a little piece of Berkeley to always have with us.”
