I made this little baby out of qtr sawn white oak and Paduak. Inspired by some things I saw on the web. No plans, just kinda went along with it. About 15” tall, 4” wide. Making the oak circle around the clock face was interesting. The tile I purchased at a local tile shop, for $5. The clock mechanism is about $15 from Klockit. Was a gift for the in-laws for Christmas. Enjoyable project, well received.

Thanks, Bradford, et al.

Regarding the photography, I figure if I put scores of hours into a piece, I can spend 1/2 hour taking decent photos. The two shots with the white background were done outside. The white pieces are (believe it or not) white kitchen laminate doors we swapped out! They are just at a right angle to each other, propped up with bricks. Seemed to come out pretty good.

Might be in the next issue of Klockit’s catalog, I understand.

Pashley,

This is a beautiful clock that I have no doubt your in-laws absolutely enjoyed receiving. Congrats on the posting in Klockit’s catalog. This honor is well deserved.

Thanks for sharing.
