I had been wanting a wall clock in the shop for quite a while for those times when both hands are occupied, covered with glue, or otherwise unable to push my sleeve back to see my watch. A while back, when I routed out the rosette ring below from bookmatched offcuts of Ambrosia maple back plates, I thought, hmmm. Yesterday, I finally got around to taking this little project off my list. Attachment: Ambrosia maple rosette ring.jpg I backed up the Ambrosia maple with offcuts from the redwood top from the same guitar and added a battery-operated clock mechanism and there you go. How many guitars have a matching wall clock? Attachment: Ambrosia maple shop wall clock.jpg

The sinker redwood adds depth to the tone and the Ambrosia maple contributes highs that are sweet yet redolent of fungus. The use of the laminate top in combination with a total lack of conventional bracing lends it an open airy quality. |

Really nice! Maybe under the circumstances, the clock should be running weeks/months instead of minutes/hours though. Maybe take out a battery or two... Sorry about that. I'm actually an optimist at heart. Dave |
