Item Description

Own a Piece of Nature’s Art: Exquisite Wall Clock Crafted from Cherry Laurel Roots

Discover the remarkable story behind this beautiful wall clock, expertly crafted from the roots of a cherry laurel tree that once grew along a fence. The tree's roots, constrained and twisted in their search for water, were felled by a powerful wind, revealing a hidden beauty within.

Why This Clock is a True Treasure:

Unique Origin: The wood for this clock comes from a cherry laurel tree with roots that became intricately tangled, creating a one-of-a-kind natural pattern.
Artisan Craftsmanship: Wood carver John Lantz saw potential where others might not have and spent several days carefully uncovering and shaping the twisted roots into a stunning clock.
Natural Beauty: Measuring 15 1/2" x 15 1/2", this wall clock showcases the distinctive, organic patterns of the wood, making each piece a unique work of art.
A Story to Cherish:

From Tree to Art: The transformation from a tangled tree root to a refined wall clock is a testament to the beauty hidden in nature’s raw materials.
Timeless Elegance: Not only does this clock keep time, but it also brings a touch of nature’s artistry into your home.
Bid now to own this extraordinary wall clock, a piece of natural history and artisanal craftsmanship that adds both character and charm to any space while supporting a great cause!
