Front view of a custom modern clock handcrafted from a live edge walnut slab with brass hands and natural oil finish — beth & co. woodworks, Sierra Vista, AZ

modern clocks, in live-edge walnut and brass

this custom modern clock was handcrafted from a solid black walnut live edge slab, finished in a natural oil that enhances the rich, chocolate brown tones and natural grain figure of the wood. brass hands with no numbers give this minimalist clock a clean, uncluttered face — time told by the position of the hands alone, against the natural beauty of the walnut slab.

the live edge is the defining detail — the natural, uncut edge of the original walnut slab is preserved around the perimeter of the clock face, giving each piece a completely unique silhouette. no two live edge wood slab clocks are identical because no two slabs are identical. the organic edge contrasts with the precise movement and brass hands in a way that feels both natural and intentional.

at 12 to 18 inches in diameter this is a substantial wall clock — large enough to anchor a wall without overpowering a room. the natural oil finish keeps the walnut looking completely authentic, enhancing the grain and figure without adding any artificial sheen. as a walnut wall clock it works equally well in modern, mid century, and organic modern interiors.

these minimalist clocks are as much wall art as they are functional timepieces — the live edge walnut slab and brass hands create a visual object that draws attention whether the time is being checked or not. a wood slab clock of this quality makes an exceptional gift or a distinctive addition to any living space.
