Finished this last night. The central piece is an from an old wardrobe, the outer sections are split pallet wood, burnt sanded and spirt stained and then I've sprayed the clock parts with copper paint then rough sanded that to continue the tatty theme. Delivering it later today.

Cheers :thumbs:

Cheers Ed. Shabby chic I do believe is the term used for this, the only problem is if I have to make any more, I'm going to have to start wearing pastel colours and calling everyone darling. :funny::funny:
