This clock was named by my wife, " Leap Second Whirl " My inspiration for this piece was the leap second added to 2008. This extra second was needed to keep the world's clocks in time with the rotation of the planet. The round clock piece is turned from Jarrah and the off centre turnings are meant to signify the earth and its various lengths of rotations over the year. The base is curly maple. The overall project, and the direction I've been pushing my turning is inspired by Doug Fisher.
