Globe

By designwood, member Jan 18, 2010

This is a 4 foot diameter world globe. It has Maple veneer as the oceans and Sapele as the continents. The process of a simple inlay was more complexed having to inlay veneers on a complexed curve. If you are interested to learn how it was made checkout designwoodmi.com.

Fantastic job. I had a student do a similar globe for a state competition. I believe that it was actually a FW plan where you made a jig that cut the wedges. He made the two hemispheres and glued them together. He then carved the currents of the oceans which relieved the land masses. Even as difficult as it was, it was easy compared to what you have done with this piece.
