Cutfutf

A mashup in which the real world — your choice of any location on the Earth's surface — is transformed via Google maps into a one-off factory-milled wooden bowl whose contours match those of the selected landscape.

The bowl is then hand-sanded, oiled and shipped to you some two weeks later.

After you've selected your coordinates it generates a preview of precisely what your bowl will look like.

€189.
