“A few months ago I was riding bikes with my girls, and saw a neighbor down the street taking out a huge fence in order to replace it with a new one,” Lindsay begins the story of her latest rescue at Diary of a Crafty Lady. “After riding back and forth a few times I got up the courage to talk to the neighbor, and found out that he was taking down a fence made of cedar, and was willing to give me several pieces of fence board!”
With all the possibilities of reclaimed wood projects before her, Lindsay decided this one should be….a clock. She cut some of the wood down to form a square. Lindsay burned numbers into the face of the clock. She used scrap cedar to make a simple frame, then added hands to finish off the clock. What a neat, rustic timepiece! I love that it’s made of so many reclaimed items!
