A San Francisco serving tray in carved birch, 12 by 20 inches: the bay and its bridges cut and etched at hand scale, sealed under a durable acrylic surface. The bay’s geography was born for a tray, water in the middle, city wrapped around, landmarks everywhere a glass might land. The acrylic face wipes clean between rounds. Serve over the bay; toast toward the Headlands. The full water in stacked relief hangs as the San Francisco Bay 3D chart. Wood charts of real waters, cut from survey data. 12 × 20 in, carved birch with acrylic surface. Etched depths, bridges, and points of interest. Made to be uséd, wipes clean. Every contour follows real bathymetric survey data. Each water is cut from its own chart to its own shape, so the shoreline, shoals and channels are the real ones. The pale land is the bare wood. The water is stained by hand and darkens as the bottom falls away. Grain and tone vary slightly from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. Questions about a specific water, a size or a frame are welcome. Real people read every message.
