Savannah, Georgia Wood Tide Clock | Carved Birch Coastal Wall Clock
How the Water Becomes Wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
- ChartThe recessed birch face carries the water's etched shoreline over a hand-stained sea.
- MovementA quartz mechanism turns the tide hand once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar tide cycle.
- Set onceAlign it at your local high tide, or at the full or new moon, and it tracks from there.
- NoteTide movements are offered for East Coast waters only; Gulf and West Coast tides run too irregular for a quartz mechanism.
A Savannah tide clock in carved birch: the river, marsh, and Tybee shoreline etched across a 16.5 inch face, with one hand keeping the moon's schedule.
Lowcountry Georgia lives on some of the biggest tides on the southern coast, seven to eight feet of swing that fills and empties the marsh twice daily, floats the docks at high water, and reveals the oyster rakes at low. Tybee's beach widens and narrows by the hour. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes with the lunar cycle, holding Savannah's rhythm after a single setting at high tide.
It belongs where the bug spray and the cast net live.
The city's full waters carry carved relief on the Savannah 3D chart.
