Hello to my friends that commented on the face being off center. I did this purposely as I was trying to capture the “waterfall” effect of the grain pattern and also show off the Tiger stripes at the same time. Hopefully you can see what I mean in these pictures. I realize that I’m no photographer ! hahahaa
Have a great day !

Hi Dusty,

I can see what you were after in the second and third pics. Nice job and it does create a nice effect.

Thanks for the post.

I have built a few tabletop liquor cabinets where I offset the doors to one side and cover the central reveal with burl walnut, and I have offset clock faces in much the same way you have. I do not do it so much to show off the wood but rather to add an amount of tension to the piece so that it attracts the eye. My wife hates it because things are not centered and “balanced” but if done well it looks great. Yours has been done well. Hats off. As always, bbqking.
