This is a map of Super Mario World, laser etched onto a piece of plywood

By Christopher Grant

Dinosaur Land — the setting for 1990's Super Mario World — is the latest in the Woodlands map series, a collaboration with "digital woodshop" Neutral Ground and designer Alex Griendling. This 18-1/2" wide by 14" tall print is laser-etched onto a piece of maple plywood, and available from the Neutral Ground website for $150.

If you didn't get a chance to pick up Neutral Ground's beautiful Hyrule map when it was first available back in July, then good news: It's back in stock and, at the same $150 as Dinosaur Land, discounted from its original $190 price (though also reduced in size from the original's 24" x 18" panel).

We've got images of the new map below, just after this Hyperlapse of the laser etching process.

Here's a quick process video of our latest map we made using @hyperlapse.
