How the Water Becomes Wood

The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.

  1. ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe face is laser-cut birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath.
  3. EtchContours, depths, and place names are burned into the surface.
  4. RunA single AA battery drives the movement, and it arrives ready to hang.

An LA to San Diego wall clock: a 12 inch carved birch face with the whole SoCal coast etched beneath the hands, Santa Monica to Point Loma.

A hundred miles of coastline on one small clock face, which feels about right for a region that treats the drive as a lifestyle. The etching carries the ports, the pier towns, and Catalina offshore, the geography of every beach day ever planned and revised.

It suits a surf garage, a coastal office, or the transplant's apartment keeping the coastline in view.

The full bight in carved layers hangs as the LA to San Diego 3D chart.
