Layer by Layer: Turning Data Into Art
-
Each custom map is handcrafted from layered, laser-cut wood and finished with painted details, using your submitted GPX file from Strava, Garmin, or RideWithGPS. From water features and road networks to elevation contours and ride stats, every element is precision-crafted to reflect your real-world cycling effort.

Go ride it!
Start with your favorite route—whether it’s a daily loop, milestone ride, or epic tour. Upload your GPX file or event link to turn real-world effort into precision-crafted wood art.
-
Activity Layer
Your uploaded GPX Activity or Event is precision-cut from wood, painted bold orange, and placed above the road layer. This raised element makes your ride the visual focus of the entire piece—clean, crisp, and unmistakably yours.
-
Data layer
Select which ride statistics to engrave: distance, elevation gain, duration, power, and more. Add the Activity or Event date.
-
Road layer
Laser-cut roadways and paths are cut from painted basewood, carefully mapped from your route’s geography and scaled for clarity and accuracy. This layer helps define the structure of your ride within the broader landscape.
-
Elevation Chart
Your ride’s elevation profile is converted into a sculptural bar chart, laser-cut from orange wood and inset onto the final layer - a bold, data-rich highlight of your 3D map that includes the distance and height.
-
Water layer
Oceans, rivers, and lakes are laser-cut and layered using bathymetric data. Where applicable, different water depths are represented by varying shades of blue, adding visual depth and realism to the map’s aquatic features.
-
Contour layer
Topographic elevation contours are engraved directly into natural basewood using digital terrain data. These lines add a sense of realism and geographic context to the route.
-
Framing & Finish
Each map is coated in matte silicone lacquer to protect the surface and enhance the wood’s texture. Choose from black, white, or red fibreboard frames, all ready to hang with a pre-installed sawtooth hook. Your map arrives framed and ready for display.

Made in Japan by Mr. Tim
Every map is handcrafted by Mr. Tim, a passionate cyclist and designer based in Kanagawa, Japan. From GPX data to final assembly, each detail reflects a love of sport, craftsmanship, and precision laser work.
Please note:
The level of detail in each map depends on the scale and area covered by your activity. Longer or wider routes may show less intricate features, while shorter routes allow for greater detail.
We continually refine our designs — from materials and paint techniques to layering and finish. Each map is made from natural wood and handcrafted individually, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Variations in grain, texture, and finish make every artwork truly one of a kind.

FAQ
Can I see a preview of my map before I purchase?
I provide a detailed visual proof after purchase to ensure your map looks exactly how you want before production begins.
Can I request a map from outside Japan?
Yes. I'm from the UK and now live and cycle in Japan, so example maps feature Japanese terrain and courses, I’m happy to create maps from anywhere in the world—just provide your GPX data and I’ll take care of the rest.
What file format do you need?
I work with .GPX files, which can be easily exported from Strava, ridewithgps, Garmin and most other cycling apps. No special formatting is needed—just the raw route file. If you’re unsure how to export, I can help guide you.
Can I include more than one route on the same map?
At the moment, I only support single-route maps per artwork. Combining multiple routes affects readability and design clarity, especially at A3 size. That said, I’m always exploring new ideas, so stay tuned.
Can I request a different size?
Yes! We now offer the following standard sizes:
- 30 × 40 cm (11.8" × 15.7")
- 40 × 50 cm (15.7" × 19.7")
- 50 × 70 cm (19.7" × 27.5")
These sizes are carefully chosen to balance detail, scale, and visual impact.
Looking for something larger or tailored for a unique space? We welcome custom size requests — ideal for cycling stores, brand showrooms, clubhouses, or event displays.
Contact us to discuss bespoke dimensions or commercial commissions or view our Frames Guide for additional sizes in stock.
Can I request a custom color for the route and elevation chart?
Yes. The default color for the route and elevation chart is orange, chosen for its bold visibility and strong contrast against the wood.
If you prefer a different color, just ask.
How is the artwork packaged and shipped?
Each map is carefully protected in multiple layers of bubble wrap and packed in a custom double-layered cardboard box. All orders include tracking, and shipping is available worldwide.
