This clock is based on a design by our Granddaughter the day after her 11th birthday, after sometime we made this clock with a skeleton movement in gold to match the wood colours.
Secondly, as technology changes and the requirement for a house clock disappears these clocks are a statement, a visual icon of the natural world using different timbers and fixings to remind us of the outside world. 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.
Our modern day lives are a rush and we need something to remind us not to rush but enjoy our time. This clock is one of those things where we can enjoy the different colours and grain textures, when time allows us to grab some downtime. As time goes on and thoughts change so will the types and designs change, just like the seasons we constantly look at different ideas in a different light.

Full description

The wood used is from a Somerset timber yard, which happened to have a stock of locally felled Spalted Beech. The spalting varies in colour and this piece of timber was light coloured, but very soft to work, so we needed to stabilize the wood with epoxy resin which added to the work required to produce this clock. To get the shape it required several iterations to get the petals that we wanted, from six petals to the one we have which is a five petal version. Finally, this was finished with Devon Oil and then microcrystalline wax.

This item is number 019 and this is stamped on the back and date made (2022) as well as shown in the images attached. Clock movement is a golden skeleton quartz movement 100mm (4”) diameter, which works well the cream and darker brown streaks of the spalted beech flower body.

1 No. AAA battery required.

Dimensions 20cm (8”) long, 20cm (8”) wide, 4.5cm (1 3/4”) deep. Weight 0.42kg

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.

Designed by Charles and Barbara Tolcher in Torquay, Devon
