About this piece
The ring format suits a stretch of shoreline this varied. The Leelanau Peninsula and Old Mission split the bay into its two arms, Traverse City sits at the foot, and the Manitou Islands and Sleeping Bear lie off to the west in Lake Michigan, 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 Traverse City home, a Leelanau cottage, or anyone who spends the summer up north.
The full region in stacked depth layers hangs as the Northwest Michigan 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
The face is the water itself.
Northwest Michigan 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.
