How the Water Becomes Wood

The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.

  1. ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe face is laser-cut birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath.
  3. EtchContours, depths, and place names are burned into the surface.
  4. RunA single AA battery drives the movement, and it arrives ready to hang.

A Lake Winnipesaukee ring clock: the lake's island-strewn silhouette carved in birch and set within an open ring-style clock face, Alton Bay to Meredith.

The ring format suits Winnipesaukee. The lake hangs in the open circle with the Broads spread wide at its heart, the bays reaching off toward Wolfeboro, Alton, and Meredith, and enough of the 250-plus islands cut in to start the family argument about which is which, 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 camp wall between the paddle rack and the door, or the flatland office that needs a reminder of where summer lives.

The whole lake in stacked depth layers hangs as the Winnipesaukee 3D chart.
