This is a topographical map of Titusville looking at Kennedy Space center launch pads. It is to be mounted in a park and will show visitors where to look for the launch. It is solar powered and lights up when you press a button on the front. The pads names are inlayed clear resin and are backlit. I did a rough cut and fine cut, then poured the resin and did a second fine cut a little deeper to clear the excess resin. Then I cut the back down to the resin so the letters are could be backlit.
Here are the fines I used.

These files were modified as I went but you can see how I did the work.
Is was difficult to get a 3d map in Florida, very flat here. I had to exaggerate the high a little. Seams we have a few sand dunes.
I used old 2x4s for the wood. (Cheap and Green) Need to be very careful when cutting or letters break off. Did 2 glue/sawdust repairs. They are hard to find. works well.
Made the wood Blake and the cut files on another day but did everything else on the 12th.
