My first post and it's a brag - my wife would have a field day if she found out.
Made of made of 3/4" oak, mahogany, purple heart, yellowheart, cherry, poplar, lacewood, American holly and pine. I still need to put a few coats of lacquer on it.
Hawaii is made of Yellowheart inlaid in lacewood and please note the George Washington on the upper left made with a scaled down pattern by Kathy Wise.

Nice work, looks great. How many hours do you have in it? 8)
-
Thanks for the kind words. I couldn't begin to tell you how many hours are in it, if I had to estimate I'd say around 100 - not including "thinking".
-
Very nice. I really like the variety of woods you used. Makes the states really "POP"
-
you have done a great job.
-
well done, great job. i also like the different woods.
-
Very nice!
-
Next question, do you have all the quarters for the map? 8)
-
Nice job, It really looks fantastic!
-
Wow, that is really unique. Very good job
-
Hey Zohar, That is an excellent version! I made one about five years ago or whenever the pattern came out. I used maple for the states and stained each state with bright colors. I never collected all the quarters for it.

Thanks for all the kind words
dgman - great looking map, do you have a bigger picture?
I scaled the map up (it was a mistake but I only realized it after I finished cutting) so the final piece is about 4' x 2' - hence it will stay in the garage until someone wants to have it, LOL.

Zohar, I don't have the map here, and the only picture I have is the one from our woodworkers club site. I will try to see if I can enlarge it, but it will have to be tomorrow as the club meets tonight.
-
Let try this again.
