Set the centre, zoom and rotation yourself. What you frame is what we etch.
Street hierarchy is redrawn by a designer so dense grids stay readable in wood.
Title, subtitle, date and coordinates, plus markers for the addresses that matter.
Reviews
Etched the six blocks around our first place in Mile End with the year we lived there. Every friend who's been over has found their own old building on it.

I didn't want downtown. I wanted my four streets. You set the crop yourself and that's what they etch, which is not how the other places do it.

Her home town, the one she left at nineteen and hasn't lived in since. She traced the streets with a finger and told us a story about each one. That took about an hour.

Was worried a dense grid would turn into mush. The street hierarchy is redrawn so the arterials read first. Side streets are still there and still legible.

Corner of the street where we met, coordinates etched underneath, date in small type. Maelle talked me out of putting a big heart marker on it and the piece is better for it.

Bought for friends who just closed on their first house. Their street is marked. They immediately went and found the house.

Why a city
The corner store you walked to barefoot. The apartment with the radiator that clanked all winter.
A city map is a quiet record of where a chapter of your life happened. We etch the crop you choose, so the frame holds your neighbourhood, not a postcard version of the city.
“We moved four times in eight years. This is the one address everyone still calls home.”
Why people order one
Most of these leave the workshop as gifts.
Keys in hand, boxes everywhere. The street they'll remember long after they've moved on.
An anniversary piece etched with the city, the date and the coordinates of the exact corner.
For parents and grandparents. The place they grew up, drawn street by street.
A year abroad, a first job, a hard season you came out of. Titled in your own words.
Up close
Every line is cut into solid hardwood — no printing, no stickers, no veneer.
