This Pinch-Waist (Grandmother) clock ismade in Southern Black Cherry, 76" tall
by 14" wide and 10" deep. It features.....
....a Maple, Cherry, Mahogany, and Walnut Marquetry facewith Paduk banding and Ebony hands.....
....a mirrored waist compartment with a glass door...
....and a raised pannel door and custom Herring Bone
Marquetry banding in the base moulding.
In this detail of the Marquetry face you can see
the sweep second hand with its own dial.
Also the Cross pendant which gently rocks
back-and-forth with the pendalum. (It's really cool!)
As you can see the Awesome All Wood
Mechanism is visable through glass pannels
and a mirrored back in the hood.
We Marquetried the pemdalum bob with Chechin,
Cherry, and Maple, in keeping with the theme
of the clock.
We also Marquetried the weight front and back
with a personal message from the owners...
to their heirs!!
