Project 042: Topo Table, Lake Crescent.

This topographic table features the terrain of Lake Crescent in Washington state. My client wanted to display the natural beauty of this region and remind them of special memories made there.

The topography was taken from USGS datasets, converted into a Digital Elevation Model using QGIS and manipulated in Autodesk Fusion before being engraved on a ShopBot CNC Router. The rest of the table was handmade in solid cherry. The signature Topoform copper patina was applied on the topography to give it the metallic texture. A sheet of tempered glass covers the inlay and completes the table.

The table was hand-delivered in December, just in time to serve as a surprise holiday gift.
