These are a selection of some of the clocks and boxes I have made for customers. Most styles can be made in the following woods, ash, oak, sycamore, teak and American Black Walnut. There are also a selection of clock faces to choose from.
I have designed these boxes to have an angled recess inside so they are opened by pressing on one side of the lid, then the lid can be completely removed for easy access.

This design was inspired by a knot hole in a piece of wood that resembled a fish so I modified it and filled the space with pewter.
The “wave” above the fish is in Sycamore and the rest of the box is made in American Black Walnut. Other woods can be used for the body of the box but I prefer to use American Black Walnut with all the pewter inserts.
