I call these “tippler clocks” because there’s always time (at the end of the day) for a tipple. These are three of 26 clocks made from planks salvaged from a 100-year-old-barn. Complete with paint, nail and worm holes and the gorgeous patina that comes with aged red pine. They all sold – without the liquid contents – almost immediately. Some day, if I get more tasty wood, I’d love to make another batch. I can only call them “Shaker style.”

I've always been fascinated with the Shaker style. It makes the most of the wood I have to work with and it can be easily adapted to almost any application from a box to a kitchen to a house. Though they don't know it, my two favorite mentors who taught me a great deal about designing and building in the Shaker tradition were Christian Becksvoort and Norm Abrams. When I grow up I want to be just like those two great craftsmen - I'm pushing 70.
