I had the map but didn't want to cut a mat in the same way they are usually done. I thought the map was pretty and decided I wanted to do something special for it so with the help of Gary Stevens who is a friend and works with lots of designing software, we managed to cut this mat on my CMC. It is 40 x 56 with a double V-groove in acid-free matting. It took hrs. of work and many trial cuts until we finally cut the coastline down enough for the computer to accept it.
The word Maine has a gold mat behind it and I matched the frame to the gold. The glazing is plexi. I have a much better photo of it but it is without the frame and thought I should show this framed.
