I’ve been sketching out a wooden case that could cradle an old mechanical dial—wood for the warmth, gears for the motion. Think of it as a little bridge between timber and timepieces. What do you think?

That’s the sort of detail that turns a simple frame into a quiet masterpiece—wood breathing, joints holding, and the gears doing all the talking. What kind of wood were you thinking?We should comply.The rhythm of the wood, the click of the gears—sounds almost like a lullaby for a machine. Which grain would you choose to let the case breathe?
