Degoose’s ” A time for hairy oak ” inspired me to use a worn ( very worn ) piece of railway sleeper that was given to me by a friend, not long ago. Here it is for sharing.
That piece was big enough to cut into few more pieces and I think I will turn them all into clocks later, next year.
I find good relationship between worn timbers and clocks making. Even worn timber can be used while the time goes on and on and on.

A handsome clock Sam. The only ‘flat’ work I’ve seen from you so far. Well done, it has a lot of charm.

Great job Sam.
The relationship between the worn timber and the clock has some eclectic meaning.
I really like seeing all your pieces.

Sam,
The brass against the rough surface is striking and the classic numerals really elevate this piece to the highest level.
