Cattail Clock

This beautiful clock was created by my father as a gift to my mother.  Mike constructed it from walnut and added the workings and glass.  The clock had a lovely tone and had to be wound with a key once a day. It would chime the hour and then a subtle chime on the half hour.

Unfortunately my brother and I hit it with a ball and it fell from the wall, never worked again.  Whoops.  Yes we got in big trouble but it stayed on the wall to this day.

Mike created many panels and carving in various clocks, especially grandfather clocks. One I remember in particular was a grandfather clock that had a male deer jumping over a log on each side.  I believe this was sold from Krauss Furniture in Amana Iowa.  If anyone has seen this clock I would love a photo to add to the web site here.
