That wood does make this basic clock form jump out at ya. Nice job of working with what you had.

If I had to guess I would say a curly Oak.

Electronic movement?

Nicely done in accenting the grain pattern in the wood.
A woodworker will build something with wood… an artist creates such visual appeal as you have in this clock.

Very nice use of some great wood grain. Eye candy.

Wow that wood is great looking, even if you don't know what it is. Makes a great looking clock. Well done.

Madmark2: yes, battery operated movement, and the pendulum ticks with each sweep.

That is a beautiful clock and you took great advantage of the grain. Could you tell us how you did the finishing as the grain really pops.

Great job, you nailed the application of the book match!

Quite the color change before/after finish, what was your trick? That wood looks awesome.

The recycled part is my favorite. All pieces of wood hold some type of character depending on who is looking at it. This piece is beautiful.

I like the title and your discription. The wood is awesome as is your design. If it were part of a bridge it must be strong timber. You could probably make time fly and that clock would probably still tick. :)>)
