The Old North State

[BKHam]

getting a bit on the art side instead of the furniture side.
shows elevation to some degree
shows some soil character to some degree (def choose the red tones of red oak and then cherry for the piedmont)
greens of the coastal plain
the sandhills are quite special to me so I've given them some curly maple, the only area on edge grain
10 year old helped cut out the overall shape

I fully expect to be regluing pieces back to this thing for the rest of my life.

Cool project. I like the overall vibe.

You mentioned re-gluing. I don’t envy you having to dust it either - LOL

Is there any significance to the size/shape of the individual blocks?

Excellent art piece! I really like the concept.
In the last 10 years I have done several quite large pieces similar to this, but without gluing to a backer. No client complaints of cracks or pops yet, so you may be ok.

Air gun at 80 psi should do it.
