Mantle Clock

Nicely finished. Gotta love how that older wood comes out looking. Glad you could get a few pieces, around here they are constantly demolishing the older houses and barns and it all just disappears.

It is nice to have friends like this. The woodworking on the clock is gorgeous. Walnut and brass go well together.

thanks for the post.

Beautiful work! Is the clock “tick-tock” (wind up movement) or “buzz…” electric battery? Either way it looks traditional to complement the age of the wood.

Beautiful clock – interesting story, about the age of the wood. I’d call it a 160 year old clock with modern clock works.

A very good clock and great use as recycled wood. I hope all of the wood was kept and not trashed.

the wood is gorgeous!
I like how the brass piece copies the edge of the wood

Now your clock needs to function for 160 more years. Very nice workmanship.
