This skeleton desk clock was as a natural development from our earlier apple clock and being goaded by the grandchildren when they were staying with us on their summer holiday in Torquay. So I just drew up a pear shape free hand then they plucked a pear leaf from our tree and I drew around it to give a real leaf shape for a pear. We then cut the shape on a bandsaw. This is a clock where the pear fruit will swing from the green cord stalk while hanging from its branch. This range of clocks are made from timber that is recycled and re-purposed to make these clock individual. They are stamped with their own unique number on the base.

Full description
The English Ash and Pine laminated wood forms the pear shaped body, which houses a quartz skeleton clock movement. The skeleton quartz movement has a 4inch / 100mm diameter face with a silver surround and black hands. The pear is hung from a stalk of silver and green polyester cord that is spliced back on itself and then stitched with green whipping twine to ensure the splice does not slip. This gives the pear a chance to swing from it stalk on the branch. The tree is a piece of locally sourced eucalyptus with a branch, which has the bark worn away in places, this is mounted on an English Ash base.
Clock movement is a silver skeleton movement with black roman numerals and black hands, this requires an AAA battery. The dimensions are 316mm high x 295mm wide x 160mm deep, depending on the position of the fruit, it weighs 1.42kgs (3lb 3ozs). This clock is made from organic, natural, solid wood and will distort if put near a heat source such as a radiator, it will also discolour if left in direct sunlight. The item you see here is the one you will receive and I have aimed to provide dimensions which are as accurate as possible. Please note that wood is a natural product and can be affected by its environment.
