Grandfather clock
blackwood, Huon pine

‘My grandfather and I spent many days together collecting timber, milling logs on his sawmill in the Grampians and stacking it to dry. As encouragement for me to enjoy his hobby of woodturning each visit he would bring a cardboard box of carefully stacked, dry offcuts of timber to last me the next week. After his death I found in his shed, my next shipment of timber – sorted, boxed and ready for delivery. I decided to use this timber to build this clock in his memory.’
