I picked out a beautiful piece of oak for the frame of this blackout Milwaukee map! 🪵 Setting up the table saw and ripping it into strips to get the frame started. I’m excited to see how the oak looks against the blackout design! Let me know what you think down in the comments!

Getting some finish on this Milwaukee map, and I absolutely love how much the grain popped once the finish hit the wood! 🔥 It really brought this whole piece together.

What do you think of the finished Milwaukee map? Let me know down in the comments!

Getting these walnut splines in place! They’ll reinforce the miters while adding a really nice accent to the frame. I can’t wait to see how that walnut pops once we get some finish on this map! 🔥🪵

Gluing up this mystery wood to make the frame for the Milwaukee map! I’m really loving how this wood looks so far, and I can’t wait to see it once we get some finish on it. Let me know if you’re excited to see this one finished up!

Before gluing up the pieces for this frame, I wanted to add some finish to the inside edges. It’s a whole lot easier to take care of these now instead of trying to get into those tight corners once the frame is glued together. Can’t wait to see this one come together!

Adding a dado for the Milwaukee map to sit in once I glue the frame together. I’m really excited to see what this mystery wood looks like once we get some finish on it! Let me know what you think down in the comments.
