Started out thinking that this was more parquetry than what I imagine is called 'woodcut'. Turns out it's probably marquetry instead. All from Wikipedia:

"Parquetry is a geometric mosaic of wood pieces used for decorative effect."

"The use of curved and natural shapes constitutes marquetry rather than parquetry."

"Marquetry (also spelled as marqueterie) is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquetry

And, so I learned something new.



Yup. The working title for the project was 'mapquetry'. Though technically inaccurate, Woodcut Maps is way catchier.
