How the Water Becomes Wood

The tray is a working chart first, cut to the water's true shoreline.

  1. ChartThe shape comes straight from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe shoreline is laser-cut from birch, exact to the map.
  3. EtchDepths, place names, and points of interest are burned in before the shoreline layer is set on top.
  4. SealA durable acrylic surface locks the map in, so the tray is made to be used, not just admired.

A Great Lakes serving tray in carved birch, 12 by 20 inches: all five lakes etched across the surface, sealed under acrylic for four-season hosting.

The lakes' long east-west sprawl fits the tray exactly: cheese over Superior, crackers off Huron, the dip finding harbor somewhere in Erie. The etched shorelines keep the geography straight through the debate about which lake is best, and the acrylic surface takes brat drippings and beer rings without complaint.

It serves the tailgate, the fish fry, and the euchre night with regional authority.

The five lakes in stacked relief hang as the Great Lakes 3D chart.
