About this piece
The ring format suits a lake this big. The Keweenaw Peninsula hooks into the middle, Isle Royale lies off the north shore, the Apostle Islands cluster to the west, and the basin drops past a thousand feet, all held inside the open circle 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 a U.P. cabin, a Duluth or Marquette home, or anyone who has stood on the shore of the cold one.
The full lake in stacked depth layers hangs as the Lake Superior 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
The face is the water itself.
Lake Superior laser-cut in birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath, contours and place names burned into the surface, and a quiet quartz movement keeping regular hours.
A clock people actually look at.
Kitchen, office, cottage or boathouse: it reads as a map first and a clock second. One AA battery, ready to hang.
