Clock Case Commision 2009
A man in India commissioned a special clock movement from a well respected clock maker in our area. I was hired to make the case. It's quite a tale. It was made with mahogany with black ebony inlay. There is gold leafing as trim. It stands over 8 feet tall. It took us several months to make. It was a real family affair. My daughter and her friends helped out with sanding. We built a crate and had it shipped to India.

Jan 22, 2015I knew when I took it out of the box the work was going to be quality (even before, just by the weight!). Mr Jorgensen's work is exceptional, there is no other way to describe it, all the way around. From his professionalism to the craftsmanship of his work. He handled everything with care, no small task considering I live in Switzerland!
