Gimbal Clock

[Bill Mooney]

I made this a few years ago when the peepers were good.
I made the case from mahogany & is french polished. Unfortunately as you can see the sun has bleached the front.
I turned & made the brass gimbal assembly for the clock. It took over 2 hours to balance the clock so the gimbals sat level.
This will now pass down as an Heirloom.

A fantastic piece Bill and a worthy piece to pass down the family. Certainly candidate for a future Antique Roadshow.
