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 Salish Sea serving tray: 12 by 20 inches of carved birch with the whole inland sea etched across it, sealed in acrylic for real service.

Two countries of coastline on one tray, the straits, the island fields, the long sounds, which makes it the correct surface for a Pacific Northwest spread: smoked salmon over Georgia Strait, cheese aging somewhere near the Gulf Islands. Wipes clean between borders.

A gift that flatters both sides of the Peace Arch.

The sea's full depths hang as the Salish Sea 3D chart.
