Charles Elkan lives in Silverton, Oregon and has been a woodworker for a number of years. Charles has a knack for choosing just the right woods to complement the brass weather gauges incorporated into each piece. Many of Charles' pieces have at least one "natural edge" to them, and this feature adds texture to any setting. Barometer, thermometer and clock "trios" are the most common selections. Pieces can "stand alone" on a bookshelf or desk, or they may be slightly modified for wall mounting.
