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 Martha's Vineyard serving tray, 12 by 20 inches of carved birch cut to the island's exact shoreline, etched with its harbors and ponds, and sealed in acrylic for real use.

The Vineyard's outline is one of New England's great shapes, the up-island wedge, the great ponds strung behind the south shore, Chappy hanging off the eastern end, and the tray puts it to work. Cheese and crackers over Menemsha, drinks resting somewhere off Oak Bluffs.

It makes the porch round of drinks feel like a chart briefing, in the best way.

For the island's waters in full depth, see the Martha's Vineyard 3D chart.
