How the Water Becomes Wood

The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.

  1. ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe face is laser-cut birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath.
  3. EtchContours, depths, and place names are burned into the surface.
  4. RunA single AA battery drives the movement, and it arrives ready to hang.

A Lake Charlevoix wall clock in carved birch, 12 inches: the lake's two arms etched beneath the hands, Round Lake's little harbor at the heart of it.

Charlevoix time runs on drawbridge openings and dinner cruises: the clock keeps the official hours over an etched miniature of the whole system, the big lake's arms, the channel through Round Lake's postcard harbor, and the passage out to Michigan beyond.

It suits a cottage entry in Boyne City, East Jordan, or anywhere the boat is the family member most discussed.

The lake's full depths are carved on the Lake Charlevoix 3D chart.
