Making Time

Recently, after seeing some of Gorg's work elsewhere, my husband was contacted by a man looking for a backwards movement clock. He also wanted to have the checkerboard pattern of the Bavarian flag carved into the face. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a backwards clock, the numbers (going clockwise) count down from twelve instead of up to twelve. The hands move counter-clockwise to read the time.

 And the completed clock made out of Cherry with carved checkerboard pattern and carved numbers with a black finish....

 

Pretty nice, don't you think?

    1. You are very welcome! I'm trying to remember to take 'in progress' photos, but that can be difficult :)
