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 Lake Washington serving tray: 12 by 20 inches of carved birch with the lake, Mercer Island, and the floating bridges etched across it, sealed in acrylic.

The lake's long shape suits the format exactly: twenty etched miles under the snacks, floating bridges crossing mid-tray, Seafair's race course roughly beneath the guacamole. The acrylic surface takes boat-day sunscreen hands and rainy-season mugs without complaint.

Eastside or Seattle side, the tray stays neutral.

The lake's full depths hang as the Lake Washington 3D chart.
