Why thank you... The clock was a bit of a challenge, especially since I only have a 16" Excalibur.  I also discovered, after I had it all glued up, that I put the side panels in upside down... all that work down the drain.  So I cut solid panels of leopardwood and inlaid them, as well as added an accent ring of leopardwood around the clock face for some contrast.  No one is the wiser for my mistake, and it turned out just fine.  That's the nice thing about scrolling; only you know your errors... LOL.

Thank you all for the kind words.  I'm having a great time with this new hobby of mine; it's only been since December.  So much to do, so little time...
