How the Water Becomes Wood

  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.

A Lake Tahoe wall clock: a 12 inch carved birch face with the lake's full outline etched beneath the hands, Emerald Bay and all.

Tahoe runs on two calendars, powder days and lake days, and this clock serves both without prejudice. The etching holds the shoreline from South Lake around to Incline, with the bay's curl at the corner, keeping the geography present through whichever season is currently ruining your productivity.

It suits a cabin entry, a bunk room, or the flatland office that needs an altitude reminder.

The lake's full depths are carved in layers on the Lake Tahoe 3D chart.
