This recent project by Clark Point Restoration, the reproduction of a carved and gilt sunburst clock, has found its home in southern France.

These reproduction pieces have finally been finished and left the studio. Thanks for all the supportive comments and likes. I include myself in these photos for scale purposes.
Mirror frame and sunburst clock, carved and gilded wood. Enjoy. And I promise, this is the last posting of these objects!

Bringing this project down the home stretch!

Final carved and gilded sunburst clock. Now time for the patina.

Final carved pieces in place on the reproduced frame. Thanks to Bill Gauthier of Gilding NYC for bringing the carving to life and Stephen Cavallo architectural glass for the frames. , , .

More reproduction carving. One keystone and two capitals, basswood, with plaster originals

Almost there. Still have to carve inset border fillet and then start fitting and adjusting before moving on to gilding. Traditional hand carved basswood, no power tools except for a bandsaw to cut out the shapes, 53” x 43” approx.

Still working on these reproduction pieces. The gilding has begun on the sunburst clock. The carving on the mirror frame is getting close to being finished.

Finally completed this project. West Gouldsboro Union Church etched glass replacements. Many pieces were broken and were replaced with reproduction pieces using the original star diaper pattern. Many thanks to Fiona Westphal of James Glass Studio in Brooklyn NY for the glass fabrication. The church is whole again. Stop by to take a look if you are in Downeast Maine.

This gives you a better view of the mirror frame reproduction. Almost there…52” x 43” approx. Linden( bass) wood, all hand carved with chisels, no dremel tools or grinders.
