This is my 8th commissioned clock design. This clock is Cherry and Walnut with brass wire rope and weights. It runs for 36 hours on a single wind. Dimensions are 74"x22"x16". The finish is many coats of Minwax Tung Oil, hard wax and lots of elbow grease! This was one of five clocks recently on display at the Clothesline Festival in Rochester, NY. Clock number 9 is in the works!
