You are most welcome! Glad you found it useful.

Vectric v-Carve can convert to a svg file straight from Google images without all those extra steps.

[@MakeEpicThings]

Its true that you can use the trace function, however I find the feature lacking compared to the online SVG Conversion tools.

very nice tutorial ! is there a way to create the lake svg with out using photoshop ?

[@hectorflores6666]

would you use Rubio Monocoat on a cutting board?

[@MakeEpicThings]

No, most definitely not. You want to use a natural, food safe oil based finish. Like @TotalBoat wood honey, or food safe mineral oil.

I couldn't find a way to remove all labels. Seems like being able to use Google Maps for this depends on which lake you want and whether there is a label on it or not. Is there way to remove all labels?

[@MakeEpicThings]

Its been a little while since I've used it honestly. I dont have any insight on how to disable the labels.
