Paul VanSickle's handcrafted birdseye maple clock, made circa 2006, sets a small round dial and slender hands within an irregular, richly figured piece of wood. The natural outline makes the wood itself the focus of the design. This is one of two battery-operated wall clocks in the lot. The Blue Chip Gifts clock has a rectangular wood body, a larger round dial above, and an oil-drilling-rig scene engraved on leather below. The maple clock has a drilled hanging hole, and the rectangular clock has a sawtooth hanger on the reverse. Both clocks operated briefly with batteries at cataloging. The larger clock measures approximately 10.75" x 2" x 24.75" tall. Note: These items were tested briefly for functionality at time of cataloging and were working properly at that time. As with any mechanical clocks or timepieces, functionality is not guaranteed due to their sensitive nature, nor has testing been conducted for functionality or accuracy for more than a few minutes of observation.
