Lake Ray Hubbard, Texas 3D Wood Map | Laser-Cut Birch Depth Chart
How the Water Becomes Wood
A chart is a stack of flat sheets until the water's real soundings tell it what shape to take.
- SurveyReal bathymetric sounding data sets every contour line before a single cut is made.
- CutEach depth band is laser-cut from its own sheet of Baltic birch, up to nine layers deep.
- StainWater layers are stained by hand, reading darker the deeper the water runs.
- StackThe sheets are registered and stacked in sequence, and the bed's true shape rises out of the wood.
- EtchDepths and place names are burned into the grain itself, never printed on it.
- FrameA solid Baltic birch frame and acrylic glass finish the piece, ready to hang.
Lake Ray Hubbard in laser-cut Baltic birch, 24.5 by 31 inches: the east side's broad sailing lake carved one depth contour per layer.
Ray Hubbard belongs to the wind crowd: its long open fetch off Rockwall makes it the metroplex's most dependable sailing water, the harbor district's lighthouse presiding over marina rows and waterfront patios that fill at sunset. Dallas built it as a reservoir and the east side adopted it as a lifestyle, wakeboats and pontoons sharing the wide middle with the racing fleets. On the chart, the drowned East Fork's channel and the lake's generous basins spread across the birch, the geography behind every whitecapped Saturday.
Each contour is a separate laser-cut sheet, stacked by hand and engraved, behind acrylic glass in a solid Baltic birch frame.
Rockwall sunsets over open water: the east side's standing appointment, framed.
The engraving spans the harbor and lighthouse, the open middle, and the creek arms. DFW companions: White Rock and Lewisville.
