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 Boston Harbor serving tray: 12 by 20 inches of carved birch with the harbor islands etched across it, sealed in acrylic and ready for duty.

The harbor's scatter of islands makes a naturally good composition, Spectacle, Georges, Peddocks, the channels running between them toward the wharves, and the tray carries it at hand scale. Serve over the shipping lanes; rest the bottle somewhere near the airport approach.

A housewarming standby for anyone whose Boston is the waterfront kind.

The full harbor in stacked relief hangs as the Boston Harbor 3D chart.
