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 Santa Barbara serving tray in carved birch, 12 by 20 inches: the coast and the Channel Islands etched across the surface, sealed in acrylic for patio-grade service.

Santa Barbara hosts outdoors ten months a year, and the tray is dressed for it: the harbor and wharf etched along one edge, the islands riding the other, the channel's whale lane between. It carries the tacos and the tri-tip with equal regional credibility.

Sunset service, islands on the horizon, both on the tray and off it.

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