About this piece
Downeast Maine runs some of the biggest tides on the Atlantic seaboard, and Bar Harbor's are famous for a reason you can walk: at low water a gravel bar rises from the sea and connects town to Bar Island, then vanishes again on the flood, stranding the inattentive twice a day. The tide hand turns once every 12 hours and 25 minutes on the lunar cycle, so a single setting against local high water keeps the bar's schedule on your wall.
For anyone who has checked their watch halfway across and picked up the pace.
The island's full water gets the deep-relief treatment on the Bar Harbor 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
The tide hand turns once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar cycle. Set it at your local high tide once and it tracks from there, over the carved, hand-stained shoreline of Bar Harbor & Mount Desert.
For the wall you pass on the way down to the water.
Mudroom, kitchen, the wall above the boat keys. Birch face, hand-stained sea, quartz movement, one AA battery, ready to hang.
