Australian Lacewood
Native to Northern Australia
Janka Hardness 890
The crown of this clock is particularly difficult for a blind person because I can’t just draw an arch with a pencil and follow that line with the band saw. I had to make a circle cutting jig to saw the curves and then inset the sides of the crown into that curve. The bottom curve is made with the same radii as the top. The uniqueness of this wood is in the lacey figuring.

My name is Jim Morgan. I am a former teacher, cabinet maker and home builder. Now I am The Blind Clockmaker. The blindness was a result of an accident that I had in March of 2014. I was struck by a car while riding a bicycle through a crosswalk in Ft. Myers, Florida. I suffered many injuries, the worst of which were multiple skull fractures and massive bleeding from my head. My wife Cathy saved my life that day by curbing the blood loss until the ambulance arrived to transport me to the trauma center. The trauma doctors gave me little chance of surviving, but by their efforts and God's grace, I pulled through. The one lasting effect is total and permanent blindness.
