A&L Style Federal Regulator
This Federal Period inspired "A&L Style Regulator" is an original design constructed of sapele with spline reinforced miters. The first of this design was made as a wedding present for my son and his bride.
None of the images is painted; all is double-beveled marquetry down to the mouse's candle flame and book binding made with scroll saw using finest blade available and sand shaded; the wisp of steam from the mouse's mug is created using bleach.
Door and side glass is custom etched to continue the pediment's rose motif. Top 1/3 of sides are veneered with leopardwood as well as leopardwood bookmatch veneer on inside. Door and face border are highlighted with string inlays.
Finish is Liberon oil. The clock sports two hidden compartments. Movement is a bim-bam sourced by Klockit.
