Lining State Street are upscale boutiques and restaurants offering local wines and seasonal fare. On a nearby hill, Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786, houses Franciscan friars and a small museum. The Santa Barbara Channel Separates the city of Santa Barbara from the relatively undeveloped Channel Islands.

Points of Interest: Santa Barbara, Channel Islands National Park, Santa Ynez, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa Island, Catalina, Santa Monica Bay, Ventura, Simi Valley, and Los Padres National Forest.

About

Wood Charts are based on soundings and measurements from bathymetric and nautical charts. Each depth layer is laser-cut from sheets of Baltic birch and glued together "bread and butter" style to create the contours and shorelines of striking waterways. Select layers are hand-stained a rich blue-green color to discern water from land, and major byways are etched into the land. The whole work is framed in a custom, solid wood frame and protected with a sheet of durable, ultra-transparent acrylic.
