I like the timber on the second one, the dots look great but for some reason the hands don't seem to match with the rest of it. Maybe a straight silver hand would marry up with the rest of it a little more ?

I agree with you. The kids choose the wood and the hands at Stiles and Bates in November. I will add some plain silver hands to the next order if my daughter agrees of course.

Thanks, a first for me. I sunk them below the wood then turned the wood down flush. I think when the tool touched the mother of pearl it gave off a burning smell. Not sure if that is normal but I am pleased with the effect, just not the picture quality, nor the hands.
