Are there copyright issues with using Google's maps?
Edit: looks like another comment has since been posted which talked about 'working on an OSM render path', there you go
beautiful. @gabesmed is the wood sustainable & ethically sourced?
My sense is that there is no such thing for some of those tropical hardwoods. On the plus side, veneer is very thin...
You may be right. Hard woods are difficult to source but not impossible. I'm thinking of Maton, a guitar manufacturer not far from where I live in Melbourne who source their tonewood with costs of gathering rare timbers in mind ~ http://www.maton.com.au/main/timbers.html

We care very much about this...we haven't done as much homework as we'd like on this issue but if anyone has more information and would like to help us find responsible suppliers, I'd love to speak to them.
Maton has been developing the use of these timbers for the last 50 years and it would be safe to say that nobody knows Australian tonewoods better than Maton. We are fortunate enough to have the support of many of Australia's most knowledgeable and skilled timber gatherers and continue to try new species on guitars and to learn more about the way these timbers are capable of producing beautiful music. ..."
That's how Maton tackle the problem, http://www.maton.com.au/main/timbers.html I don't know if this is possible in the US mainland.
i want something with WAY more detail on how it works. like, i understand laser cutters and whatnot, but this seems harder. can you write more up?

"They...come in with weapons, they seized a half-million dollars worth of property, they shut our factory down, and they have not charged us with anything," says Gibson Guitars CEO Henry Juszkiewicz...
The feds raided Gibson for using an inappropriate tariff code on wood from India, which is a violation of the anti-trafficking statute known as The Lacey Act. At issue is not whether the wood in question was endangered, but whether the wood was the correct level of thickness and finish before being exported from India. "India is wanting to ensure that raw wood is not exported without some labor content from India," says Juskiewicz."

The cynics suggest that this is all at the behest of the Pacific Northwest domestic timber lobby, using environmental sentiment to dampen competition from overseas. Gibson's case, by that theory, is a deliberate scare tactic designed to create a chilling effect.
And to bring the discussion back to the matter at hand: whatever you're doing, I hope you're aware of all this, and documenting everything you have meticulously, or you could end up screwed. Like, possibly-in-jail screwed. For working with wood veneer. Believe it.

I'm getting an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT error: GeocoderError at /create Error OVER_QUERY_LIMIT Query: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?region=&sensor=false&bounds=&language=&address= Also, you should want to change your Django DEBUG setting to False

Haha, you caught a little live debugging. Should be fixed now.
Otherwise great work, these look amazing!
shut up and take my money! i want something with WAY more detail on how it works. like, i understand laser cutters and whatnot, but this seems harder. can you write more up?
