hello eveyone
though it was time i contrubited to the forum
i have been making clocks and small boxes for friends and family for a few years noe, the clocks i make out of either slabs of red gum from out of my creek.
this one is a pendlum clock i made the cut out at the bottom is a kangeroo hopping, i cut it out free hand with a triton router (the big beastie) just taking small cuts at a time say about 1 mm
with the heavy router and small cuts i didnt have too much trouble taking out the waste, just took a long time that all
cheers Tony

Hi maddog, that sure is an an interesting looking clock ;-). About how tall is it, I can't really tell from the photos? Well done!

I am so green with envy that my eyes have crossed and my toe nails have started to grow inwards. Nicely balanced and beautifully crafted. Robert :wink:

Nice clock Tony,:2tsup:.

You said how, but not what you made the kangaroo from. I'm guessing mirrored perspex. Nice effect.

You've given me an idea...
Mind if I borrow?
