I am still catching up on posting custom orders as I've had many since April. Here is one that I did the month before - a beautifully rustic oversized clock for "S" who lives on a farm and needed a big clock for telling time at a distance. She requested something ultra-rustic looking to match her style, and after seeing the spools I have on hand, decided that a 3-foot wide spool top would do just fine! She also requested that since the clock would be hung beneath her porch roof, that it closely match the wood tones in her rafters. I went about ordering clock parts with beautiful, long hands and after lots of prep to the spool, the clock was stained in multiple layers with a lovely deep brown-red colonial colour. I made a circular face-plate to fit the clock mechanism; and once everything was sealed against the elements and installed, the clock was left to run to ensure the mechanism worked well and told time properly. Now that the clock is installed on "S's" porch, I hope she can enjoy it for many years to come!
