Anatomy of a Chartistic 3D Nautical Chart
Chartistic 3D Nautical Charts are stunning and unique works of art made just for you! The 2D information on the paper chart is faithfully recreated on wood, layer by topographical layer, to give a spectacular 3D presentation in full colour as per the paper chart.
Each topographical layer and sub-layer, including the marine data, is laser engraved on thin sheets of poplar and then cut with amazing precision. The number of layers varies from chart to chart and usually ranges from five to eight. Finally, and much like constructing a complex jigsaw puzzle, all of the pieces are assembled together to produce the final work of art. The poplar is PEFC Certified (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).

This chart is in the form of a 400mm diameter clock that also indicates the state of the tide and the hours until high water, low water and half tides. The price is the same as the Connections Range.
