Bamboo Clock Tower Wall Clock

A tower dial engraved in wood

A wooden disc engraved with a Victorian tower clock face: a ring of pointed arches carrying Roman numerals, a band of blocks around the outside, and a fine spoked web filling the centre. The engraving is cut into the grain rather than printed on it.

The whole pattern is one colour, so it reads by the shadow in the cut lines and changes as the light moves across the face. The hands are plain black, which is the only addition to the woodwork.

It is made in one version.
