How the Water Becomes Wood

A chart is a stack of flat sheets until the water's real soundings tell it what shape to take.

  1. SurveyReal bathymetric sounding data sets every contour line before a single cut is made.
  2. CutEach depth band is laser-cut from its own sheet of Baltic birch, up to nine layers deep.
  3. StainWater layers are stained by hand, reading darker the deeper the water runs.
  4. StackThe sheets are registered and stacked in sequence, and the bed's true shape rises out of the wood.
  5. EtchDepths and place names are burned into the grain itself, never printed on it.
  6. FrameA solid Baltic birch frame and acrylic glass finish the piece, ready to hang.

The Treasure Coast in stacked Baltic birch, 13.5 by 31 inches: the barrier islands, inlets, and lagoon of Florida's most literally named shoreline, carved one depth contour per layer.

The name is not a marketing invention. In 1715 a Spanish treasure fleet wrecked along this coast in a hurricane, and its gold and silver have been washing ashore ever since; storms still surrender coins to beachwalkers with metal detectors and luck. Behind the beaches runs the Indian River Lagoon, ranked among the most biologically diverse estuaries in North America, and Sebastian Inlet's jetties host the state's most storied surf break. On the chart, the long lagoon lies pale behind the barrier line while the inlets cut their engraved channels through to the Atlantic shelf.

Each contour is a separate laser-cut sheet, stacked by hand and engraved, behind acrylic glass in a solid Baltic birch frame in Light or White.

Every local has a hurricane-season beach-walking strategy they will not fully explain.

The engraving spans Sebastian Inlet, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce and its inlet, and the lagoon behind them all. South: Jupiter Island; north: New Smyrna Beach.
