Cuckoo In the Nest

I have had this for a few days short of ten years and still love it.

When we visited the Black Forest town of Triberg, said to be the centre of the cuckoo-clock industry, we found the clocks somewhat beyond our price range, but I found this, the front panel for a clock, in the 'rejects' basket for a very small fee. It was sold to me by the gentleman who actually made it but he did not explain why it was deemed unsuitable for a clock; I hope he was pleased that someone would treasure it for what it is, a typical, hand-made Black Forest carving.
