A friend gave me a chunk of African Blackwood that was a waste piece of a sculpture he was making. It already had this shape to it but was cut off with a chainsaw and had some grooves from it. I ran the face across my jointer. I had to sand the back because my friend had marked it with a black marker showing it as a waste piece from his sculpture. I used a Forstner bit for the clock hole. Deft satin spray on the back, gloss on the front. Thanks for looking and especially to those that comment.

That is the nice thing about clocks you can make them out of anything with any design you want. Nice work and thanks for showing.

I love the natural contrast of the sapwood and heartwood here. I am not a fan of this contrast in pens, but it works well here creating a natural look frame around the clock face.
Well done!
