Description

In the spring of 2004, I was visiting Chicago (one of my favorite places). I happened upon a large gallery of fine furniture, so I stepped inside to get ideas from my fellow woodworker "comrades." I came upon a clock, fashioned from several various wood types. It was simple, yet elegant. Upon returning to my studio, I sketched a "morphed" "Windy City Clock," with an Arts and Crafts soul.
