Our oboist team member, who hand-carves her own reeds, assembles and finishes each map by hand.

Finally, an oboist who found their burden to be useful in life outside music!

Would be great to see some footage of one of your maps actually being made some time.

Hand carving your own reeds appears to be a rite of passage as an oboist (my wife plays).
