Live-Edge Wood Slab Wall Clock

Time, carved straight from the tree. This 1970s wall clock is cut from a single live-edge slab, the bark-line preserved like a frame around concentric growth rings. A deep hand-rubbed finish brings the grain to life—amber, russet, and espresso tones that shift with the light—while raised Roman numerals and vintage-style hands keep the face legible and classic.

Born of the decade’s back-to-nature movement, pieces like this came out of small workshops and school woodshops across the country: honest materials, sculptural edges, and the warmth only real wood can give. A dependable quartz movement keeps everyday time with a simple AA battery, marrying 1970s soul to modern reliability. Hang it in the kitchen, office, or cabin entry for an instant sense of place.
