How the Water Becomes Wood

The tray is a working chart first, cut to the water's true shoreline.

  1. ChartThe shape comes straight from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe shoreline is laser-cut from birch, exact to the map.
  3. EtchDepths, place names, and points of interest are burned in before the shoreline layer is set on top.
  4. SealA durable acrylic surface locks the map in, so the tray is made to be used, not just admired.

A Block Island serving tray in carved birch, 12 by 20 inches: the island cut to its shoreline with Great Salt Pond etched at its heart, sealed under an acrylic surface that means it actually gets used.

Block Island's shape is half land, half harbor, the pond takes such a bite out of the island that the map reads like a story about boats, and the tray leans into it. Drinks land around New Harbor; the cheese knife points at the bluffs.

It suits the rental cottage, the winter house, and every ferry loyalist between.

The island's full depths and rips are carved on the Block Island 3D chart.
