    Default Longcase Clock

    Well it's been a long time since I visited here.
    Here is my new Grandfather clock.
    Made from Tasmanian Blackwood with a 'Hermle' tripple chime cable movement and moving moon dial.
    This clock is now on display in Melbourne.

    Know the shop well, they have some nice stuff there.
    Do they pay up front or take stuff on commission?

    It's a very nice looking clock too.

    May I be so vulgar as to ask if you happen to know what the asking price is?

    regards,

    woodbe.

    Nice one, Chris! Looks great! Hope it sells for you soon. How many is it now that you have built & sold?

    Cheers,
