Thanks, Pottz. I see on the sticker an “AM”... which I’m guessing means Ambrosia Maple. They are selling it at $10 for an 8 foot board.

I’ve been grabbing up the stuff that has good markings from top to bottom.

you don’t need anything on this one – looks great as is

Well, now you’re making me think I should try to make this design at least one more time. I already have some ideas as to how I would handle the clock face a little differently.

Fine looking clock Van!
Toned donw a bit from the galls, but a great showcase for the wood. Someone is going to really like that in their house 8^)

Thanks, Splint!

I’m thinking maybe I should make one more of these.

Woof! Nice work…. and I second Pottz, I can’t believe Lowes has that and has it for that price. I apparently need a better Lowes.

Got me thinking I need to head over there tomorrow one more time and clean them out.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Well, that settles it, Jack… I’m going to make another clock like this!

I really do like the style of this clock and may have to swipe your ideas on this. The grain really makes it stand out. I’m guessing you had to put the rods and center in before the glue up of the outer frame ? Excellent job !!! Mel

Thanks, Mel!

You do make nice clocks with very original designs. I’ve never seen ambrosias maple at our Lowe’s in So. Cal.
It must be a regional wood.

I used to fish when I lived back east and sure would like to see one of your fly fishing clocks.

Absolutely, James… here are a couple pics:
