Great clock. You really acomplished the “old” look.
I also like the way your are including your materials and tools used. More of us should be doing that.

Great work. It looks like an antique. I’m curious about the movement and clock face which has a parchment look to it. I also second LesB’s comments on listing your materials and tools.

The movement is an antique 8 day time only one I already owned that had the correct drop. I try to use the correct antique movements with the cases I build…..if possible. Since this is a museum piece (the one I used as an example sold for $45,000 at a high-end auction!), I did not have a similar hand-made movement by Mr. Dunning. The face is a purchased paper face. Since this is a 14” dial, I could not print it on the computer like I do many times. I use both purchased paper faces and special paper faces I design in MS WORD (Word Art) if I do not have the correct manufacturer’s trademark face in my stock. It is then aged with mechanical wear spots in the correct locations and with stains to simulate age.

Amazing work, you could do replica work and fool the best of them.
