For some years now, I have been working on making a pine beetle (our gift to the USA) clock for the next time I meet John Prine. It was my intention to make1 - One Red Rose
3 - For A Quarter
6 - Six O'Clock News
9 - Nine Pound Hammer
I purchased some fishing rods tic tocks - the arms that show the time and I already had a ticker.
You can see from the formation of the wood how this would work. Actually, it was the noisemaker who took the fancy to this piece of wood. I had told John Prine married up to a fine lady from Ireland. Hence, he thought of the clover. A five leaf clover, it is my belief, it the utmost good luck.
He cut the slab, I sanded and varnished it all up - made it look like what you see in the picture. Can you see the formation of 1 to 12 - the hours, I am making reference to?
I understand that John Prine is not accepting anymore gifts, he has enough. That is ok, I just wanted to share.
Share, I will ~ you know, when I get my picture taken with John Prine - 09.10.16
oh yes, the christmas lights you see in the picture - yep - we keep them up all year round.
One gift John would accept... a day of fishin' in Canada. Batter fried and sizzzzzzzlin'!
ReplyDeleteI cannot figure that out, why won't he come up to the lake, teehee. I am afraid the closest I will get to fishin' with John Prine is the fish you see here jumpin' out of the cuckoo clock!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking piece of wood! Why don't you go ahead and finish the clock for yourself to enjoy? It would be beautiful!
