The Story

If I could build a castle here in Texas, I would.

It wouldn’t be tall for show or cold with stone meant only to impress. It would be a lived-in place—sun-warmed walls, creaking staircases, windows that caught late afternoon light. A castle meant for stories, not legends carved by strangers. A place where time mattered because people did. Rooms meant to be walked through slowly, holding traces of laughter, friendship, mystery, and the quiet magic of everyday life.

This clock was born from that idea.

In old castles, time was never just numbers on a wall. It was marked by who was home, who had traveled far, who was safe inside by nightfall. The great halls didn’t measure hours—they remembered lives. Names were spoken, paths were traced, and every return mattered.

This piece carries that same purpose.

Each frame is a place held open—not for perfection, but for presence. Family. Loved ones. Pets who somehow become the center of everything. You choose who belongs here. You decide what “home” means. The clock doesn’t tell time so much as it keeps watch.

The carved ribbons wind like castle corridors, looping and returning, reminding us that even when life pulls us outward, we circle back to what matters. The hands move steadily, quietly, without hurry—because some things are not meant to rush.

I make these because I believe objects can carry stories forward. That a home deserves more than mass-made décor. And that even if I can’t build a castle of stone in Texas, I can still build one of wood, memory, and meaning—right here on your wall.

This is not just a clock.

It’s a place your story lives.
