I thought you'd like to see some of my latest Texas clocks. As some of you
may recall I make these using a variety of materials which are found in
the Texas Hill Country. The movements are all quartz.

Dr.Debbie,

the availability and cost of some of the raw materials, particularly the
fossilized Texas limestone prohibit such an endeavor. The stone is
getting very difficult to find with the proper type of crustations.

I belong to a local artists association and content myself with making
and selling about 8-10 clocks per year.

I get a lot of pleasure out of making them, and although they're very similar
I try to make each one slightly different. Due to the different types of materials
I use in each clock the time to make one style vs. another will vary as
will the overall cost.

Dave, those are well done and make an excellent display of some beautiful natural materials.

Do you cut/polish the stone yourself? With what?
very nice!
