Thanks for all the nice comments!

I had to come up with something using the wood available in the storage area and didn't want to make the long neck. This is small enough to be packed and moved when he graduates in May and goes to a 'real job'!

Yeah...sort of like me..."Simple but elegant"!

Malc...get your clocks from Sloan's and buy them by the dozen. Best prices out there and you can mix and match styles in the same size.

I only have one left so there will be a re-order going in right after the holidays.
