Teapot Clock

Charming clock with chip-carved details is perfect for the kitchen

This clock combines woodworking, woodcarving, and chip carving—for me it is the best of all three worlds!

The shape comes from one of the teapots in my wife’s collection. The traditional carving on this piece is mainly rounding the edges of the teapot to resemble a real teapot. There is also chip carving on the teapot and the clock face. The spoon pendulum is also carved and shaped, but the spoon is embellished with more chip carving. The general woodworking comes into play when you are fitting the pendulum clockworks into the back of the clock.
