Mountain Clock

This clock was made from a slice of a treetrunk left behind at Burr Oaks Woods after the conservation team did a rather extensive spring cleaning event in the forest in 2025. Like all our Cattywampus clocks, it's silent. The second hand has a contunous sweeping motion; it doesn't tick.

Details

• Approximately 8" diameter clock face; 12" tall
• Approximately 1" thick
• All-natural tung oil finish

Perfect for anyone who appreciates real wood with genuine character.

About the Wood

Osage Orange (also known as Hedge Apple)

• The Osage people (where the name comes from) used it for bows. Flexible + strong = perfect combo.
• The fruit smells citrusy and looks edible… but don’t. Not toxic to humans, but not edible (bitter, latex-y, regret-inducing). Squirrels nibble the seeds like they’re cracking a safe.

Nicknames: hedge apples, horse apples, monkey brains (accurate)
