Jacksonville, carved into a tide and time clock
Tide on one hand, time on the other, over carved birch.
“Beautiful piece, expertly crafted. Packed well and arrived in perfect condition.”
Mark S., Hudson, OH. Verified buyer
A tide and time clock for Jacksonville: a 16.5 inch carved birch face with the mouth of the St. Johns River and the beaches etched in, from Mayport to Atlantic, Neptune, and Ponte Vedra, one movement keeping the hour and another tracking the pull of the moon.

About this piece
The St. Johns is one of the few big rivers that meets the sea at a city, and its tide reaches far inland. The current at Mayport, the fishing at the jetties, and the water along the Intracoastal behind the beaches all turn with it. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes to match the lunar cycle, so after one setting against local high water it keeps the rhythm, while the time hands cover everything the water does not decide.
Right for a Jax Beach home, a Mayport boater, or anyone who grew up on the First Coast.
The city and its water are carved in relief on the Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville.
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.
