This rough-hewn but somehow quite elegant timekeeper adorned our cabin at The Ranch at Rock Creek. I want to believe I could start collecting nice sticks now, and chop them to the appropriate lengths and glue them together at just the right angles to create something similar, but perhaps that's a bit...ambitious. Maybe e-Bay will come to the rescue, and I will scour yard sales in wooded locales.

In any case, something so woodsy and craft-y would lend a city apartment a nice dose of sylvan magic!
