That's a nice clock and some fine work.  The copper goes great with the clock. Nice patina job!

A love the pre-cat finish,  I'm a S/W dull rubbed user on 90% of my stuff.  Gives a great furniture feel.
As I was looking through the pictures I kept saying to myself,  that's got to be pre-cat.  :)
Thanks for posting it.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
