Dear
Tom,
At about 3:30 PM today the hourglass was delivered in The Netherlands. It came
in perfect condition and is very beautiful. As you had said several weeks ago,
we would make the 4th, and we have.
Thanks again,
Michael
Hi

This handcrafted hardwood case was designed and
made
in the USA by Tom Young. The colors that you see are
natural to the individual woods. The darker wood is
Padauk. The lighter colored wood is Cherry. The 28 inch
tall hourglass case is hand finished with a clear sealer and
polished to bring out the beauty of the wood and holds
glass running approximately 4 hours.
Why call it an hourglass?
Hourglass is the term commonly used to describe a sand
timer, a sand clock, a sand glass and even an egg timer.
Although they are called hourglasses, the amount of
time that it takes for the sand to run from one bulb to
the other through the neck or orifice of an hourglass
is not necessarily exactly one hour. The running times
of our standard hourglasses start at 30 seconds and go
up to 4 hours. In addition to that we do custom
running times by special order.
There is an hourglass in Japan said to be the world's
largest. It is located in the Nima Sand Museum and it
runs for an entire year. It is called an hourglass, a one
year sand clock as well as a sand calendar and contains
one ton of sand.

Good
morning Tom,
I just wanted to let you know that Diane was presented with the hourglass last
Friday at a luncheon we had for her.
It was absolutely beautiful! Diane loved the hourglass and the laser engraving
really made it special she kind of choked up when she read it.
Thank you very much for your suggestions as the hourglass came out just perfect.
If I ever need another one as a gift I certainly will be in touch.
Thanks,
Sue
