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.

  • New Moon Mountain in Finished Oak
    The New Moon Mountain is a variation of a previous Mountain Clock that I’ve made. This version offers better contrast to see the hands, while keeping the sharp details of the laser cut mountain....

  • All my clocks are designed first with a rough sketch, and then in detail on my computer. While the design work can take days to perfect, I am then able to laser the same design again. Once I have sanded, stained, and varnished the wood, I laser cut the design, and then clean the residue from the face and the edges the cuts. Afterward, I prepare the black background pieces, and use an inverse frame to construct the clock.

  • The Lighthouse Clock is one of several designs in my 3DC (3 dimensional circle) clocks. It's available in Oak or Walnut, with sizes ranging from 8" to 17" in diameter. My 3DC clocks are made with a black background to provide depth and contrast to the designs. This design was based on an actual lighthouse in Maine, but with adjustments to make it a bit homier and yet stark against the black sky.
