This is a
strikingly beautiful wall clock lavishly ornamented in
renaissance style. The front is presided over by a grotesque mask
just over the clock dial, which is surrounded by many leaves and flowers. The sides (see picture below) have a
remarkable renaissance scroll with a boy in the center, many
flowers, leaves and two more small grotesque faces. The lower
section shows two dragons that seem to hold the clock in the air.
The clock is nicely crowned by the upper section, which contains
among other things two birds.
This clock is
particularly beautiful, proportioned, very well ornamented, I
consider it a masterpiece of the old Italian fretwork school of
designers. I have
restored it digitally with the most advanced graphic design
techniques, adjusting everything with total precision, slots,
symmetries, etc and I have laid out a pattern with complete instructions
for very easy construction. It will be easy for you to make it and
admire it for many years.
The
clock is designed to be made with 1/4 inches wood or with 6 mm wood.
It can be scaled to use other wood thickness as well. The following

three pictures are courtesy of Boris Radovskiy from the USA: "This project was the most enjoyable and challenging of any one I've ever done.
In fact, this clock looks much better in reality than on the pictures.
It took me about 60 hours to make it, including 40 hours for scrolling and 20 hours for planning, assembling and finishing.
As always, your patterns were stunningly accurate.
Thank you very much!"
