This clock was created using two pieces of wood that used to be part of a door jam. I purchased this from an old man's
family when they were selling the family home. I cut the two dark pieces from their original length down to about 26 inches.
The overall height is 30 inches and it is about 17 inches wide at the bottom. All the wood that is visible is mahogany. The top
is made from recycled crate materials. The bottom and back are made from a damaged piece I purchased new. The damage
is cracks that run horizontal in the wood. The final finish is paste wax over Varathane. I used a colored wax in the case to
make the new and recycled crate material darker to more closely coordinate with the old wood.

Below are close up pictures of the carvings at the bottom and a picture of the unfinished woods. If anyone knows what style
this is, please let me know.

I've ordered a face and hands. I'll post pictures of the finished product when they are received.

    To the right and just above it are pictures of the unfinished
    wood. The antique door jam material including the carved
    part originally had some type of finish. The majority of this
    was removed prior to my obtaining the wood.

    I have no idea how old it is but when I originally saw it, I
    knew that I could do something with it. I like how it has
    turned out!
