I don't know, but it sure is a nice dial.

No movement yet. I made this dial for a friend that is a wood carver. he burned the numbers to add his touch to it. It is made out of wood.

Oh how great! what a neet idea.

It looks pretty good for wood, and I bet it wasn't easy either. Such tiny little groovs in the wood.

Well done.

??? Could that be an original "Fred Flinstone Special", first non-sundial pocketwatch in Bedrock history. Might be tough finding replacement parts though--don't have any idea where your going to get a dinosaur or lizard small enough to turn the balance wheel.

the first is sycamore. this one is elm that is joined to create the unique grain.
