Chesapeake Bay, carved into a tide and time clock
Tide on one hand, time on the other, over carved birch.

Mark S., Hudson, OH. Verified buyer

About this piece
Bay life runs on both clocks at once, the marina's hours and the water's, and this one carries them together: standard hands for the human schedule, and a tide hand turning every 12 hours and 25 minutes with the moon. Set the tide side once at local high water and it holds honest through crab season and duck season alike, the etched shoreline from the Susquehanna to the capes underneath.
Right for a river-house mudroom or the office wall that wishes it were one.
The Bay's carved depths hang full-size as the Chesapeake Bay 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 Chesapeake Bay.
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.
