Whidbey & Camano Islands, Washington Wood Ring Clock | Carved Birch Coastal Map Clock
How the Water Becomes Wood
The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.
- ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
- CutThe face is laser-cut birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath.
- EtchContours, depths, and place names are burned into the surface.
- RunA single AA battery drives the movement, and it arrives ready to hang.
A Whidbey and Camano Islands ring clock: the two long islands carved in birch and set within an open ring-style clock face, Deception Pass pinched at the top and Possession Sound at the bottom.
The ring format suits this pair of islands. Whidbey's forty-mile run hangs down the middle of the open circle with Penn Cove and Holmes Harbor cut into it, Camano tucks in alongside across Saratoga Passage, and the hands sweep over Admiralty Inlet and the Everett waterfront. It reads as sculpture first and clock second, which is the correct order for a wall piece.
Right for a beach cabin wall, a Coupeville kitchen, or the mainland office that schedules weekends around the Clinton ferry.
The islands' full depths are carved on the Whidbey and Camano 3D chart.
