Only New to this clock stuff
Well I am only new to clock and have been making some basic stuff and a little bit more involved. I think they have come up quite well and look forward to getting deeper into them as time goes on. I am interested to her your thoughts?
Cheers Ian

you gotta change that logo dude.
Every time I see it it looks like a +C and not a H.
The C is the same as the one in Custom.

I really like the golf one Dorno. I like the others too but the high gloss finish leaves me flat.
It appears the punters don't agree as I see a lot like this at craft markets so they must sell.

If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

Like Nanigai I am not a fan of the high gloss finish.
I have a personal preference for burls to be turned into pens.

Hi I have made quite a few clocks probably about 20 or so and have only used burls once (once too many)
Personally dont like using burls and especially not with high gloss finish.
Be careful with the Roman numerals as they look odd if you put them on upside down.

Artme I too like to make pens out of burls but they can also be used for other things as regards to the finish I like to use other stuff too but the customers are always right and they seem to want the Gloss so my hands are tied
Cheers Ian

After looking at a lot of photos, apparently not.
It seems either way up is acceptable.
