Here is my first attempt to make a clock. As I am a novice, I thought to use pine for the clock. But then I saw this beautiful wood.

:2tsup: Looks pretty good to me. Lovely grain and finish.

Its funny to think that you could have possibly got the wood from the side of the road. :rolleyes::D We have to pay an arm and a leg. Our only consolation is finding Blackwood by the side of the road instead.

Lovely clock.:cool:
