About this piece
Nantucket's tides are gentler than the mainland's, but nobody who runs the harbor entrance or walks the flats off Coatue treats them casually; the water moves sideways here even when it barely moves up and down, and the rips off Great Point are the island's standing reminder. The tide hand completes its circle every 12 hours and 25 minutes on the lunar cycle, keeping honest time with the water after one setting at local high.
It belongs where the beach chairs and rod holders live, stating the only schedule that matters.
The island's full shoals and harbors are carved in depth on the Nantucket 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 Nantucket.
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.
