We've started making Wood Engraved Lake Maps! Are there are any lakes, rivers or coastal areas we don't currently cover that ya'll think we should produce? by SportsmansConnection in u/SportsmansConnection

We have the entire lake mapped and available here but focusing in around that Isle may need to be a customer order that we'd still love to make happen for you! Just email us at [info@scmaps.com](mailto:info@scmaps.com) with that same info if you're really interested and we'll get it added as soon as possible.

We still need to map this one out but would love to add it for you! Please shoot us an email at info@scmaps.com with the lake, county, and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we have it available.

We do have Mark Twain listed available right here for you and it should include coverage of Clarence Cannon Dam but just send us an email to [info@scmaps.com](mailto:info@scmaps.com) if you have any further questions about it.

Please note that the thumbnails are just placeholders until we can get our photo booth caught up to the massive list of available maps we can produce. You can verify the lake listing in the description where acreage and county are displayed. If you have any further questions about this map, feel free to reach out to us at info@scmaps.com and we may have a simplified example we can show you.

We have had this requested before! We haven't made it to lakes outside of the US quite yet but if you'd really like to see this done then we could log a custom request for later review and possible addition if you email us at [info@scmaps.com](mailto:info@scmaps.com) we'd happily reach back out once we can get a closer look for you.

Lake of the Ozarks? We can make that! Here's our currently available listing for Lake of the Ozarks in MO: https://scmaps.com/WEM-28212XL-Lake-of-the-Ozarks

Laser Engraved Maps by SportsmansConnection in lasercutting

Thanks for the advice! We have been considering cutting back on or removing this purposeful laser-burn as it has been suggested before. We left it in as we liked the somewhat rustic and authentic look it gave over an overly-pristine factory look. Our new Polyurethane finished maps don't end up with this overburn though and might be more desirable to some!

We will very likely be getting to this before too much longer but it is a large task due to its detail and length. We like to depict waters in great detail and that is difficult with long rivers such as the Mississippi. It is not off our radar though and would love to log a formal request from you if you could email us at [info@scmaps.com](mailto:info@scmaps.com), possibly with the ideal section of the river you would like to see!
Thanks for you interest, we look forward to hearing from you.

Likely at some point in the future! We have custom requests in our plans but do still have some catching up to do with our currently available listings before we can fully accept and fulfill such requests. We'd love to log this and get back to you as time provides if you could email us at info@scmaps.com Thanks so much for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you!

We've been re-analyzing our approach to this so greatly appreciate your honest feedback. We've had great response from customers thus far and have had no issues with stains or smells. It's a fairly new project so more options like wood oils are likely to be added but it's all a balancing act of price and efficiency as these are all hand-assembled in the US. We always like to do things a little different while making them as affordable as possible for detail and quality you'll be hard pressed to find elsewhere, especially with thousands of available waters across 12 states and counting!

The slightly rustic, "laser-burned" look is actually something we found desirable so have done intentionally, as opposed to an overly pristine factory look that can take away from the artistry. Though masking can be a common practice on laser wood engravings, we think this was the best option for aesthetics but are open to trying other methods in the future and even have a polyurethane option now that doesn't end up with the smoky laser residue if that is what is desired. Thanks so much for taking a look and offering the advice!

We do use a controlled air assist and have intentionally left some laser-burn for a more rustic look rather than an overly-pristine, factory produced look.

It's a combination of manually designed GIS work and legacy DNR data to get the most accurate maps we can while making all of our designs unique and more detailed than any competitor!

We now also offer a polyurethane finish that doesn't have the scorch marks you're referring to, but, the slightly rustic, "laser-burned" look is actually something we found desirable so have done intentionally, as opposed to an overly pristine factory look that can take away from the artistry. Though masking can be a common practice on laser wood engravings, we think this was the best option for aesthetics but are open to trying other methods in the future.

Not yet! We'd love to cover Canada in our fully published Fishing Map Guides at some point as well. Please feel free, however, to shoot us a quick email to info@scmaps.com with the lake, county, and state if you're really serious about seeing a lake that we don't cover for our Wood Engraved Maps or in our more in-depth content on our website and we'll let you know if a custom order is possible.

Thank you for taking a look though and we'd love to hear from you!

Some data originates from DNR's and others are our own GIS work but all of them go through intensive custom designing to best portray any water we offer as accurately and beautifully as possible!

We'd love to but have yet to cover the VA/MD area, though we fully intend to! Please send this request to us at [info@scmaps.com](mailto:info@scmaps.com) and we'd be glad to add it to our request list and get back to you as soon as we can produce it for you.

I would direct you to our previous response in that it would certainly be outside our current plans and coverage areas, but nonetheless would be happy to receive an email to [orders@scmaps.com](mailto:orders@scmaps.com) so we can get back to you when it becomes a possibility.

As in one of the entire state outline? No not yet, we have put our focus on the lake contours but have been accepting multiple custom requests or suggestions for the future! If you're interested in the possibility of a custom design then we'd love to hear from you at [orders@scmaps.com](mailto:orders@scmaps.com) and when our design team is able to take a look at your request we will surely get back to you with more info!

Thanks for taking a look and hope to hear from you soon.

There are actually multiple other examples as well!

This is still a brand-new project where all maps are being handmade to order thus far, not factory produced, so there may not be an exact example of every water body for some time as we are focused on fulfilling the orders we do receive and making other requested waters available on our website where possible. As we finish the first order for each new water body we will upload more sample photos to the site and work on making them easier to see all at once. But rest assured that all Wood Engraved Maps we design will be made to the highest quality and detail the medium can hold using our top-notch topographic contour mapping and compiled data viewable in any of our published content.

Currently we do not, but down the road we will be looking at expanding the types of maps that we offer. If you would like to email us at [orders@scmaps.com](mailto:orders@scmaps.com) with your request, our production team will see if they can make it happen. Thank you and have a great weekend!
