Poke around this selection of the pieces I have curated. I say curated because I haven't "made" or "created" anything. I'm simply curating or hospicing tree parts. I cut, plane, sand and oil various chunks of wood. But still I'm only delaying the usual decomposition while we enjoy the tree part in a particular shape for some period of time. That could be days, years or a century - who knows. It depends on the wood and the level of ongoing effort to delay the natural decomposition.

Introducing the RIMEA clock. The patent-pending RIMEA clock is designed specially for the time-accuracy obsessed.
When you have a clock that keeps time perfectly but it turns out to be set to an incorrect time, even a millisecond off, its hands will permanently display an incorrect time. If you have a clock that is slightly slow in keeping time such that every 100 years it has gotten behind by 12 hours, then once every 100 years that clock will be accurate for a brief moment. With a more and more sluggish clock you will get a shorter interval before the next complete 12 hour lag. The frequency of that clock being momentarily accurate increases.
The clock asymptotes toward a maximum frequency interval of being correct once every 12 hours when it has slowed to a perfect standstill. Recognizing that this 12 hour interval between momentary accuracy is not ideal, the design of the RIMEA clock takes the next step.
The RIMEA clock fully optimizes the frequency of intermittent accuracy by running the clock backwards at high speeds, guaranteeing that multiple times every second you can know that your clock is set at an absolutely perfect accuracy. In our view, this guarantee of second-to-second moments of accuracy is more gratifying than the constant-near-accuracy-yet-likely-permanent-inaccuracy of conventionally oriented clocks.
The Heisenberg uncertainty of the location of the clock's hands at the precise moment of pure accuracy is fully optimized in the exclusive RIMEA clock design.
