This is my 1st commissioned piece. I made a total of 5 (plus 1 that's a bit different for a family member). Every board in the clock is QSWO, most of it with fantastic grain patterns. Trying to stay true to the work of the early 1900s, I don't try to make the grain "pop" as many LJers do...

Adding to the collection of clocks. This clock was requested by my wife. It is cnc carved but the patterns were all designed and crafted by me. Its only taken me about 4 years to learn 3d modeling to accomplish this. It is a steep learning curve but once you are past the rope and ladder part it...
