About this piece
Boston's ten-foot tide floods and drains the harbor twice a day, around the islands and up into the Charles and Mystic, and this clock carries both schedules at once: standard hands for the human day, and a tide hand turning every 12 hours and 25 minutes with the moon. Set the tide side once at local high water and it holds true through the season.
Right for a waterfront condo, a Southie or Hull home, or anyone who keeps a boat in the harbor.
The full chart hangs in carved layers as the Boston Harbor 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 Boston Harbor.
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.
