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 San Francisco Bay serving tray: 12 by 20 inches of carved birch, the bay's islands and channels etched across it, finished with an acrylic surface built for actual entertaining.

This one is for the hosts whose apartment window already frames some slice of the bay and wants the rest of it on the coffee table. The etching runs Gate to South Bay with Angel Island and Alcatraz in position, and the sealed surface takes wine rings, fog-day soup bowls, and everything between.

A housewarming answer for anyone newly paying San Francisco rent.

The bay's full carved depths hang as the San Francisco Bay 3D chart.
