Here is a picture years ago of a clock I made from a slice off the side of a log where a knot was sticking out. I was scrounging for wood in the slab pile and the sawer walked up and handed it to me saying " make something out of this for my office." So I made him a wall clock. 

 

The second picture was the clock I made from the scrap bin at an industrial furniture plant ,out of Walnit. for the milkman.

right on time Herb....

They're both awesome, Herb. And, since Stick started it, they're timeless gifts, too. 

Beauties, both!!

I especially like the first one.  It is "second" to none.

Your right ,Gerald, never thought of that,was thinking more of a mandolin ,or some such thing.

i'd be alarmed if someone didn't like those. 

Nice job Herb. Very creative use of scrap that otherwise might get burned.

Glad you chimed in, Peter.

They both seem to have something wrong, they are either 12 hours to slow or 12 hours to fast. So I would get rid of them now, prepaid shipping and my address is.

 

They are a timely work of art.  You done a good job.
