Happy 50th Anniversary! The clock is a perfect anniversary gift to your wife, 50 years of marriage is unheard of these days! I love the paduke wood with its rich color (my favorite-red) and smooth looking texture! You truly bring out the beauty in every piece of wood you touch! You are phenomenal! Bravo!

Happy Anniversary Gary. Someone told my Dad " 50 years is a long time to spend with one woman" he replied " not if it's the right woman" . They were married 64 years when he passed away. A beautiful gift for your bride.
