About this piece
Tide is the Cape's real schedule. Bayside flats at Brewster walk out nearly a mile at low water, Wellfleet's oyster beds work by the drop, and every harbor entrance from Sesuit to Stage has its opinion about when you should arrive. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes to match the lunar cycle, so after one setting against local high water it stays honest season after season.
For the mudroom of anyone whose day starts with the question of where the water is.
Pair it with the Cape Cod 3D chart for the full picture of what is under all that moving water.

How the water becomes wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
The tide hand turns once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar cycle. Set it at your local high tide once and it tracks from there, over the carved, hand-stained shoreline of Cape Cod.
For the wall you pass on the way down to the water.
Mudroom, kitchen, the wall above the boat keys. Birch face, hand-stained sea, quartz movement, one AA battery, ready to hang.
