BLUEBIRD CLOCK

[Marv & Jean]

Leroy:

The wood is 1 1/2 inches thick. The numbers at spaced out from the
stem of the clock that comes through the wood 1 1/2 inches. That
make the number 3 inches across. That is from the center of one
number to the center of the opposing number on the opposite site of
the shaft. I hope I have made myself understood.

If you are not aware of them http://www.klockit.com is the place to order
clock stuff. They have just about any kind of movement you want.

around with them to see where they can be used, tables, walls and in
the home.
