About this piece
The Banks are a two-hundred-mile dare against the Atlantic, sand islands rarely more than a mile wide holding back the ocean from Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, some of the largest sounds on the American coast. Offshore lies the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where Diamond Shoals off Cape Hatteras has claimed ships for four centuries, and where the Wright brothers chose the steady wind at Kitty Hawk to fly. The staining tells the water story: pale gold over the vast shallow sounds, darkening seaward past the breakers toward deep Atlantic blue.
Without an acrylic cover, the cut edge of the barrier chain runs bare under your fingertip, the whole fragile geography touchable. UV printing keeps the long string of towns and inlets crisp.
OBX families measure their lives in mile markers and beach accesses. Every one of their summers is somewhere on this strand.
The print runs from Corolla and Duck through Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, and Roanoke Island, down Hatteras Island to the cape, and across the inlet to Ocracoke.

How the water becomes wood
The same water, open to the touch.
No glass between you and the chart. The depth bands of the Outer Banks are laser-cut and stacked from birch, up to five layers, and the fine detail is UV-printed onto the top layer, so you can run a hand across the shallows and feel the water fall away.
Lighter on the wall, same shoreline.
A solid birch frame, hanging hardware on the back, ready the day it arrives. The UV series is the way to put the Outer Banks in a hallway, an office or a cottage bedroom.
