Most carved maps are shaped by eye. Mine are cut from official USGS 3D elevation data, so every ridge and valley is exactly where it really is.

I’m Mike Yeany, and Oak ’n Koa Studio is my workshop in West Maui, Hawaii. I design every piece on the computer, the maps from official USGS elevation data, and make each one myself with CNC and traditional woodworking. The woods are koa, milo, mango, oak and monkeypod, often set in resin. Some of the monkeypod came from a tree that grew in a Lahaina neighborhood lost to the 2023 fire.
A map of a place that matters to you, a piece for your home, a sign for your business: I design each one for the person or place it’s for.
A selection of my work is on display at Sabado Gallery in the Westin Nanea lobby, Kaʻanapali. If you’ve found me here, get in touch with me directly.
