WoodGrainTerrain @beehaw.org I carve terrain into wood from an off-grid, solar-powered workshop in rural Kentucky, USA.
Jezero Crater, Mars carved in cedar
A river delta inside an impact crater? Yep. By woodgrainterrain.com
Can you not see the heart-shaped log? I think the oak limb was trying to tell me something.
Thanks, I do it on a CNC. And it takes a more typical wood shop equipment to shape the boards and make the frames. I have lots of videos of carvings on my Instagram.
Thank you! I love sharing with folks.
Thanks for fixing that! And if the fudge were cold enough to actually carve, I bet it'd work just fine.
Custom Property Carves
At the center of this carving sits Lake Cumberland Marina, the largest marina on the largest man-made lake in the United States. I prefer to use locally available hardwoods, in this case, maple and thermal poplar with resin added to represent the water. No paints, stains or dyes were used on the wood.

Thank you very much. The wood was very carefully chosen to represent this model, the natural cherry color is pretty close to Mars! I prefer to not use paints, stains or dyes. The only unnatural coloring in that carving went into the resin I poured into the voids in the wood. Also, this was one of six pieces detailing the history of water on Mars, and was made in collaboration with a planetary scientist. One of the carvings used mission data that was made available only to us! Still gives me goosebumps!
Simple Living was one of my favorite subReddits
The folks there were simply the best. But now we're here! What brings me joy today? The hummingbirds outside my window drinking the nectar I've provided.
It is 100% all natural! Might not taste good, but won't hurt ya!

I carve terrain into wood. Here's Fontana Lake, the southern border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Yep. Which is why I've deleted my 7-year account with 26k karma.
Correct on the geo data. I've not carved Venus as if yet. If you know where some quality DEM, GEOTIF or STL files of Venus could be had, I'd love to know. There are fantastic Mars and Moon resources; there are models of the Galilean moons and even Pluto, but the quality is not great.
