Found this poplar burl in a pile of trees my nephew had cut down and thrown in a pile at my brothers place. They did’nt know what it was until I cut it up and showed them. Looked good to me. Made this as a present thats helped do a lot of work for me around my house. Just a good kid. I say kid, but hes 30. Acts like a kid a lot I guess is why. Got a good heart. Is a plumber by trade but also has worked with his brothers who are licensed contractors, building houses. mike

Thats a very nice piece of burl you chose for the clock. Looks good.
And Tom, I’ve seen those before and they are pretty cool. I would make one but I don’t know how… I would buy one but they are pretty expensive!

Very nice. I need hands to know what time it is. Somehow the numbers of a digital clock or watch just don’t stick.

Great looking piece of burl Mike and clever use of it. The clock came out really nice, I bet the “kid” liked it. I think that 30 is a kid, heck I was 30 myself, 30 years ago.
