Metal lake cutouts

Your lake.
Your place on it.

A single sheet of metal cut to your Michigan lake's real shoreline — islands and all — with your place on it if you like. No frame, no backing: just the lake on your wall.

100 Michigan lakes, from Higgins to Houghton. Browse all lakes

Cottage

A home-and-family piece: an engraved inset shoreline with your family name and year as an engraving concept.

Shown: Lake Charlevoix · concept preview

Every style can carry a home marker of your choice: no marker, with home star, with house silhouette. Depth lines, labels and names are shown as an engraving concept on the metal; only the shoreline is cut. Nautical depth lines appear only where we've reviewed real Michigan DNR contour data.

How it works

  1. 1

    Find your lake.

    Search by lake name or the nearest town. Every outline comes from OpenStreetMap, not a sketch.

  2. 2

    Choose a style and mark your place.

    Pick Minimal, Nautical or Cottage, then add no marker, a home star or a custom house silhouette. Click or drag the marker to your stretch of shore, or use the arrow buttons.

  3. 3

    Approve your proof; we cut it.

    We send a proof of your piece after fabrication review. Nothing is cut until you approve it.

Photo coming soon: a finished house silhouette made from a customer's own photo

Custom · quote required

Add your actual house.

Upload a photo you took of your cottage and we'll design a silhouette of your actual house at your spot on the shore, then send you a proof to approve. We never recreate a house from an address, and we never pull images from map or street-view services.
