This
is a remarkable fretwork pendulum clock ornamented with cherubs,
dragons, sirens and four small fretworked boxes that form the base.
The clock is designed to be completed with a pendulum system, but a
simple clock insert is also possible. This pattern is based in an
old Italian design that I have restored
carefully in the computer.
These
two pictures have been sent by Boris Radovskiy from the United States. He
has made a magnificent clock that shows absolute expertise. Observe
the nice contrast created by the walnut and cherry hardwoods, and
the subtle detail of the golden feet.
The wood behind the
fretwork in the base is bloodwood. The clock is finished with three coats of satin polyurethane Boris is a member of the
Carolina Scrollers club.

The clock is designed to be made preferably with 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8
inches wood or with 12, 6 and 3 mm. wood, but of course other wood
thickness can be used scaling the pattern. The following table gives
