Miniature Clocks and more<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Miniatures the process<\/h4>\n

The full size clock lends more than just a passing resemblance to the look of my clocks because I use similar construction details to give me the right appearance, and correct proportions. All of my clocks are based on actual full size examples, and lately I have been working on the creation of well-known clocks, for example the Bronte Longcase Clock.<\/p>\n\"Arts<\/a>\n

All of my work has been based around original full-size pieces, the above Arts & crafts linen press was on the front cover of an old Antique collectors magazine, it just had to be made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a variety of woods in the construction of my fine clocks, including Mahogany, Oak and Walnut but I mainly use a Friutwood, as the grain scales down correctly and I can achieve a ‘subtly- mellow’ Antique finish. I also use some very decorative veneers including Burr Elm, Burr Walnut and many others; the woods used are selected for their decorative and close grain properties.<\/p>\n

I pride myself in trying to use mainly reclaimed woods wherever possible, although this is not always achievable.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I also have a range of non-working Barometers and Pocket Watches. The construction of a working barometer is possible; however, the costs would be sky high.<\/p>\n

Invention<\/h4>\n

I have recently been working on some very finely detailed clocks and on some very demanding projects for all sorts of people including Museums, galleries and private collectors alike.<\/p>\n\"1\/12th<\/a>\n

I tend to accept all commissions large and small, usually to my own detriment and sanity. Just send me a photo (I do make quite a few copies of clients own clocks each year) and I will copy the piece correct in every detail. So if you can’t find a suitable clock amongst these pages, why not have a copy of your very own to grace the interior of your DOLLHOUSE.<\/p>\n\"a<\/a>\n

The above show a commission piece, a 1\/144th scale copy of a customers house to go inside her dolls house, the perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
