I design and create original laser-cut clocks in finished oak and walnut. Starting with raw sheets of wood, I rip the wood into panels and then sand, stain, and varnish the panels. I first sketch then design my clocks on a computer, using colors to program the laser to adjust the type and power of each cut. I clean the lasering residue, and then assemble the pieces into a finished clock. Much of my work is tedious, but my joy is in seeing a finished clock come to life from raw wood and a vision.

  • American Flag Clock in Oak
    Originally designed American Flag clock in finished oak against a black background....

  • My American flag is an original design laser-cut in finished oak. This is one of my 3DC (3 dimensional circle) pieces that combine a unique design base with the precision of a laser-cut piece. The flag and numbers are all cut through, giving a crispness to the design, while the black background highlights the natural wood grains of the finished oak. This piece is available in 8", 9.1", 11.5", 13.5", 15.5" and 17.5". It is also available in finished walnut.
  • Mountain Clock in Walnut
    This is an originally designed mountain clock laser-cut in finished walnut....

  • The Moon Mountain Clock in Walnut is created by an inverse process of lasering the design out of the finished walnut to produce the mountains in the black background behind it. The outer frame of the clock and the numbers have been elevated slightly to add depth and dimension to the piece, while the walnut within the circle forming the mountains are set a layer in, bringing focus to the center of the clock. The black background matches nicely with the dark lasered edges, and helps to highlight the rich walnut woodgrains.

    The Moon Mountain Clock is available in both walnut or oak, in 8", 10", 12", and 14" (sizes are approximate).

  • Lighthouse in Walnut Clock
    Originally designed Lighthouse clock laser-cut in finished walnut...

  • The Lighthouse in finished Walnut is available in 8", 9.1", 11.5", 13.5", 15.5" and 17.5". The numbers, the Lighthouse, the Head Keeper's residence, and even the lighthouse windows and catwalk are cut through, providing a crisp, clean look against the black background, which is offset slightly behind the face to provide depth. All sizes have a hook to hang the clocks on the wall, while the two smaller sizes also come with an easel.

    This lighthouse scene is my original creation based loosely on the Portland Head Lighthouse in Maine.

    The lighthouse clock is part of my 3DC collection of clocks and is also available in Oak.

  • Oak Tree Clock
    Tree in finished Oak, an original design in a laser-cut clock....

  • This Square Tree Clock is beautifully laser-cut into satin-finished oak and is set against a black background. The numbers are precisely cut through to provide a crisp definition for easy reading. The outer frame (with the numbers) is elevated slightly to create depth, while the detailed tree cutout on the inner clock face contrasts nicely against the black background to bring the design together.

    The Square Tree Clock is available in Oak or Walnut, in 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18" (sizes are approximate). All sizes have a hook to hang the clocks on the wall, while the 8" version also has an optional easel.

  • Corinthian Pendulum Clock
    Corinthian pendulum clock laser cut in finished Oak, an original design....

  • The Corinthian™ Pendulum clock is the latest addition to our collection. With the alternating oak/black motif, the eye is pulled to the center, with the black pendulum shaft almost hidden in the background, while the oak circle is oscillating back and forth, back and forth. 

    The design was inspired by the art deco look of the 1920's, and is built up in 7 overlapping layers. The numbers on the face are laser-cut through to provide better depth and clarity. The black background contrasts nicely with the finished oak and helps to add depth and dimension.

    The Corinthian™ Pendulum clock is available in three sizes, in both finished Oak and Walnut.
