Came upon this website that uses Google maps' topography to CNC shape a fruit bowl of a selected geography.
I'm kinda leaning towards a CNC'd chair of the Horseshoe Falls in Niagara FAlls.

What's the best thing to do in a lightning storm? "take a one iron out the bag and hold it straight up above your head, even God cant hit a one iron!"

I hate to keep going on about sketchup but if you had contours of any area you could produce a cad file of the 3d terrain pretty easily. and then go from cad to gerber.
then all you need is a CNC and you could make your own.
the area would have to be small though autocad won't handle more than 50K points very well.
