Brooklyn youth finds juniper clock starting in Estes Park
Pete Crider a 20 year old from Brooklyn and Giles Crider’s son spends time in Estes Park Colorado digging root mass from an aged juniper tree. He carves slabs into clock faces and tabletops using machine and hand sanding then adds a transistor clock movement and legs. His woodworking interest began in childhood with Tinker Toy days and a sign over the family drive. The spring 1976 dining table project boosted his career choice.
