I have been making pens for a while now but am always looking for other projects to keep me busy. I made this for a botanist friend who likes unusual wood. It's an 86 mm skeleton clock in a piece of York Gum burl. I would like to source a smaller skeleton clock if anyone knows where I might find one.

@David M I have used Chris from Clocks and Barometers in the past he's usually at shows like Harrogate - he's very helpful but I haven't had anything for a few years so not can't attest to today but can say he has been very helpful in the past and has loads of stuff!!
