How the Water Becomes Wood

The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.

  1. ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  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 Santa Barbara wall clock in carved birch, 12 inches: the harbor, the wharf, and the Channel Islands etched across the face.

Santa Barbara's hours pass gently, which is the whole brand, and the clock matches the pace: hands turning over an etched channel where the islands hold the horizon and the whale boats work the deep lane between. Stearns Wharf reaches off the beach at the center of it.

It belongs where the beach cruiser helmet hangs, or in the exile's kitchen two time zones away.

The channel's full depths are carved on the Santa Barbara 3D chart.
