Can't recall whose design and pattern this is.
Cut out on my scroll saw using Baltic Birch plywood on various thicknesses.
Keeps time relatively well depending on ambient temperature and relative humidity.

I second that emotion, I've looked at your recent posts with an ever increasing amount of admiration and jealousy.

You sure are one talented individual.

I love that clock, wish I had the skill and patience to make something like that.

How long did it take to complete ?

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Phil,

I spent around 2 weeks off and on.
Didn't really keep track of how many hours.

I've seen these clocks several times on the web and am always in awe of them. Yours is absolutely superb and I wish I had a 10th of the patients you must have to do it. :thumbs:
