IN THE MAKING
The making of a clock
Michael Morris Gallery
A glimpse into the stages of carving as a new clock takes shape.
After the wood is cut into the approximate shape he wants the clock to take, Mike sketches his design onto the wood.
The base of the clock is the first to get roughed out and the design begins to unfold.
Inch by inch the drawing is roughed out into the actual lines of the carving.
Mike repeatedly goes over every inch of the clock, with each pass the carving becomes smoother and more refined, the drawing really begins to springs to life.
With the completion of the carving stages comes the beginning of the finishing. Massive amounts of hours are spent smoothing and sanding the sculpture on the way to it’s final state.
The nearly completed clock awaits it’s final chapter; staining and sealing.
UPDATE: The piece is now finished and has been named “Balance Of Time”, to see the end result visit the clocks section of the site or click here.
