The wood is beautiful.
Although I would have aligned the darked wood with the straight edged grain (around the 2 o'clock area) at the bottom, to act as a lift to the rest of the grain pattern.
The drawback (as with all our clocks) is the hands and numerals, they look cheap, gilded plastic numerals (or stick on plastic) and pressed hands. It's nothing you've done, that's what we can buy (unless you know better).
