I was looking for Bathymetric data for Lake Placid in New York. This is for a request by a cousin.
I stumbled upon this collection of products. These would be tough to match.
I don’t know who is making them, but they are pretty.

These are laser cut and stacked/glued layer-by-layer, but could be done on CNC with some baltic birch to see the layers. The laser burns the edges to see the darker “outline” of it so you could cnc these peices and paint the edges to get a similar look and feel.

I would be hard pressed to get a final presentation as good as that.

First off, you could do as good in regards to milling. The finishing work, well maybe that’s a different story 
Secondly, maybe it’s a good excuse to throw a laser head on your machine…if you need an excuse for a new toy

I am not a great finish guy. I lack the patience and ambition.
I do not need another squirrel at this point. If C3D comes out with a laser that travels in the Z direction to maintain focus ( for topology burns ) and is supported through CM and the Pro 5, I will probably jump.

Z-height variation would be nice given the context of past discussions.
Though maybe simpler things like these stack ups which don’t require adjustable z are worth investigating 
(I’m sort of assuming the bolt on laser heads currently on the market aren’t crazy expensive. I haven’t looked though 
)
Thanks for the observation. I had not noticed that.
The black edges work in this case for me.
Thanks for the education !
I would be on that in a heart beat
