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 Puget Sound wall clock: a 12 inch carved birch face with the Sound's fjord fingers etched beneath the hands, Olympia to Admiralty Inlet.

Sound life runs on ferry windows and tide swings, and this clock keeps the civilian schedule over the same etched water: Hood Canal branching west, Vashon in its channels, the Narrows pinching mid-map. Rain is implied.

Right for a kitchen with a ferry schedule magnet already on the fridge.

The Sound's full depths are carved in layers on the Puget Sound 3D chart.
