This is my latest project.
Its a Dirk Boleman pattern, and a very nice one at that! Lots of fun to build.
Its all Black Walnut except the dial is Oak.

Sorry for the poor Photography.

I always love your clocks, espcially since you do not actually use those inserts, I hope you know what I mean, yours looks more real and natural.

Beautiful! 

I've said before that my goal is to one day do a beautiful clock.  I'll just keep on watching your posts and I am sure to find the exact one I want to do someday (I need a lot more practice first).

How many clocks do you have in your house by now?

Thank you all so much! Becky my Living Room is quite full of clocks. I have 6 large Pendulum Clocks and several Mantle style clocks. When its quiet at night in my house all you hear is the Tick-Tock..I just love the sound.

Im almost done with another large Grandfather type clock now. I will post pics when its complete.

Thanks again,
Gary
