Nicely done. Pretty "limb wood".

Beautiful clock. I have visions of one day making a Grandfather clock. The problem is, after 45 years of marriage, and accumulating "stuff", I really don't know where we would put a Grandfather clock. I have 5 clocks in the garage, simply because there is no room in the house.
Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut, and have the world think you a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Beautiful work there!
I like that it's a shelf clock (if that's what it would be called?) and not a tall clock.
If there is any of that wood left you could turn some pens for other keeps sakes for family members.

I hear you on the Grandfather clocks. Dad bought both a Grandfather and a Grandmother clock kits (mechanism and unassembled case) which he built up. They were gorgeous and Mom and Dad had one upstairs and one downstairs. Thing was, after they both passed it was something to find one of the kids or grandkids that wanted them. One granddaughter has a big house and took one while the other went to another granddaughter. Had they not taken them I don't know what would have happened to the clocks. I'm like you, I don't have any room for one. Mantle and desk clocks are much easier to pass down to the next generation IMO.
