Hilton Head, South Carolina 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 Hilton Head ring clock: the island's foot-shaped silhouette carved in birch and set within an open ring-style clock face, Calibogue Sound on one side and the Atlantic on the other.
The ring format suits Hilton Head. The island hangs in the open circle with Broad Creek cutting into its heel, Port Royal Sound at the toe and Daufuskie just off the edge, while the hands sweep around it. It reads as sculpture first and clock second, which is the correct order for a wall piece.
Right for the entry wall, the office, or the beach-house kitchen where everyone checks the time on the way out the door.
The island's full water hangs as the Hilton Head 3D chart, and the tides are covered by the Hilton Head Tide & Time Clock.
