Here is my latest Grandfather Clock.. I finally have a new showroom to display the clocks in, so I am rather excited..
This clock features Fiddleback Blackwood.
Hermle movement and Break Arch Dial.
The showroom is in Launceston.Tasmania.
Corner of Forster street and Holbrook street,Invermay..

You ought to proud of that, tazchris. Your jpeg compression is a bit hard so some of the grain detail is a little difficult to make out in the photo, but it still looks spectacular.:2tsup:

Nice one tazchris, up to your usual high standard. Is the bookcase yours too? it seems to have your signature moulding on the side.:p
Hope I can drop in to your gallery also later this year (sounds like it will be a full of woodie forumites too:p) when I visit the folks in Tasmania.
Cheers

Yes Swifty,the moulding on the bookcase is the same as I use on some of my clocks..
I imagined that if someone bought a piece of furniture with this moulding, they might like a clock to match..
Here is a picture showing the timber grain, the door mitre and crown moulding..
