Jezero Crater, Mars is pictured here carved into eastern red cedar. What part of the solar system would you like to see carved? Made by me @ [woodgrainterrain.com]

I’m assuming you carve it using geo data? have you thought about doing parts of venus? There is some pretty detailed scans of the surface with radar.
Correct on the geo data. I’ve not carved Venus as if yet. If you know where some quality DEM, GEOTIF or STL files of Venus could be had, I’d love to know. There are fantastic Mars and Moon resources; there are models of the Galilean moons and even Pluto, but the quality is not great.
https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/Magellan don’t know how well you can use that, but it’s raw data. Someone might be able to turn it into a 3d file but not me, I have no coding knowledge
Really nicely made! A suggestion from me would be, keeping with the Mars theme, Olympus Mons to show its scale. However it may be difficult as it is of course spread out a lot apart from being very tall.
Love to hear it, thanks. Olympus Mons, besides being the largest mountain currently orbiting our sun, is also perhaps one of the ugliest. I’ve not tried to carve it as there is no shortage of other awesome stuff! Now Mt. Sharp in Gale Crater gets my juices flowing.
It looks amazing.
I guess the next one I would like to see would be the moon. Especially with features big enough that I can be seen directly from the earth.
I want to be able to see that this is space and then touch it !
Thank you. Lots of Earth, Moon and more carvings pictured in my website Happy to make custom pieces for folks.
