This carved and fretted decorative clock case, has been assembled with carved, fretted and shaped sections of various timbers including; New South Wales scented rosewood, holly and queen ebony. It is finished with thinned polyurethane and wax.

New South Wales rosewood forms the base and main body of the case, holly has been used for the decorative pierced carving work on the front and for the clock face. the holly has been finished with wax alone to avoid the slight yellowing that polyurethane might impart to the natural ivory white of the holly. Queen ebony, also known as Solomon Island ebony, has been used for the hands and clock face numbers.
