Long Island Sound, carved into a tide and time clock
Tide on one hand, time on the other, over carved birch.
“Beautiful piece, expertly crafted. Packed well and arrived in perfect condition.”
Mark S., Hudson, OH. Verified buyer
A tide and time clock for Long Island Sound: a 16.5 inch carved birch face with the Sound's long reach etched in, one movement keeping the hour and another tracking the pull of the moon.

About this piece
The Sound breathes twice a day through its eastern gates, and everyone on it plans around the fact. The current at The Race can outrun a sailboat, the western Sound stacks bigger ranges than the east, and every harbor bar from Norwalk to Northport has its hour. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes to match the lunar cycle, so after one setting against local high water it stays honest season after season, while the time hands keep you on schedule for the train.
For the hall of a shoreline house or the office of someone whose real calendar is the current tables.
The whole waterway is carved in relief on the Long Island Sound 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 Long Island Sound.
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.
