This is my first attempt at designing a clock. Willing to except comments

Very simple and elegant! (well maybe not simple but very stylish looking!) What woods did you use? ...and how big is it?

Very nice clock Pajaro. Interesting design, but why did you post it here, instead of entering it in this years design contest.

Janette I used Walnut with Maple trim. It's about 15 in High and about 7 inches wide at the base

Marsha I was not aware of a Design contest.

and thank you for your nice comments.

G'day Pajaro,
That is a brilliant design.
I reckon you'd be odds on for a ribbon in the contest.

Pajaro,

Very nice. I wish I had the ability think of my own designs.
