About this piece
This is barrier-island country, forty miles of keys stacked one after another with a bay behind each: Sarasota Bay behind Longboat and Lido, Roberts Bay and Little Sarasota Bay behind Siesta and Casey, Lemon Bay behind Manasota. The staining reads the way the water does, pale across the grass flats and bars inside the passes, darkening where Big Pass, Venice Inlet, and Stump Pass cut through to the Gulf.
No acrylic covers the UV series, so the cut shorelines sit bare under your hand, and the printed labels keep every key, bay, and pass legible at a size engraving could not manage.
The print spans Longboat Key, Lido and St. Armands, Siesta Key, Casey Key, Nokomis, Venice, and Manasota Key down to Englewood. For the engraved deep-relief treatment behind acrylic glass, see the Longboat Key 3D chart and the Siesta Key 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
The same water, open to the touch.
No glass between you and the chart. The depth bands of Longboat Key to Manasota Key are laser-cut and stacked from birch, up to five layers, and the fine detail is UV-printed onto the top layer, so you can run a hand across the shallows and feel the water fall away.
Lighter on the wall, same shoreline.
A solid birch frame, hanging hardware on the back, ready the day it arrives. The UV series is the way to put Longboat Key to Manasota Key in a hallway, an office or a cottage bedroom.
