All
clocks are original designs
and are signed and numbered limited
editions of 50 or less.
None are
mass produced.
-I personally craft each
clock, not just supervise production and after an order is received. Nothing
is
produced ahead of time, this allows you to fine tune your original clock.
Enhanced
forms.
The sculpted shapes are enhanced by the combination of multiple
exotic contrasting woods, gold & silver gilding, solid silver, brass, paint
or lacquer & colored dyes. Wood stains are not used to enhance or even
the color on any of the woods used, leaving the uncolored state of the exotic
woods
exposed to reveal their natural beauty and tone.
Unified
design.
-The clocks, like the boxes,
combine simple shapes and forms
to achieve
their unified design. I purposely rely on the
textures and colors that are naturally present in the exotic woods, rather
than depend
on surface decoration to stimulate or distract the viewer. Wood is used for
all clock parts, including the hands & pendulums. The exclusions are
the obvious metal accents and the clock mechanism.
Meticulous
finish & fit.
-All clocks go through
a multi-step smoothing, finishing & polishing procedure, giving all surfaces
an unbelievably smooth lustrous glow.
Functional & accurate.
-Most of the clocks are
intended to
set comfortably on a shelf, table or mantle except, of course, for wall clocks.
Even though all clocks are functional objects, they're used as much as decorative
accents as they are timepieces.
