Stamping Time Stamping Time No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

When a neighbor asked me to design a clock for her philatelist husband, a germ of an idea crystalized. However when i went to create a postage stamp in wood, I was overwhlemed by choices and artistic demands. Sometimes you cant let your project get ahead of your skills. I Knew that i should make a stamp by punching regular holes to imitate peforations, but it still had to be a clock. I then decided that if i used actual stamps on my symbolic stamp, no one could miss the symbolism. I therefore selected from my collection a dozen US stamps from one to twelve cents denominations to make the numerals, and used my latest veneer acquisition, a sheet of Hawaiian Koa wood on which a Koto wood “stamp” was to be placed. The result is on view above.
and its a good thing i posted the project because in looking at the enlarged image, i just noticed that my numbers are out of order, i gotta contact the new owner and repair. I gues time can stand still.

Killer idea (I will probably swipe it)...but the 7 & 8 are switched . I know you mentioned it, but how did you not catch it?

Very neat idea. This would go over well with any stamp collector, and we all know
there are many of them out there (myself included).

Very neat clock. Curious as to where you got the movements from, my wife and I have recently come up with an idea for a clock for the playroom I am working on and I will need to get a good size movement.

Thanks.
