Wild Cherry Gall Clock
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Wild Cherry Gall ClockSo, I had a long piece of wild cherry gall out in my crates. I took the pruning saw to it (which is probably the majority of the work) and cut this piece. Then I ground it and then sanded it.I decided to go with off-center placement of the clock hands.It sits really nicely against the wall and has a floating effect to it.My guess? This thing is going to do some warping… but maybe that will add to its charm.It's a really beautiful piece of wood! If you look at the dark part of the grain, it almost looks like a duck-billed platypus diving down toward the bottom of a lake.(And, yeah, these things come together even faster than the skinny clocks!)
