This is my collection of salvage tongue and groove 4" planks/boards that I bought several years ago.
First, we made a very simple weathered white shelf with
three vintage hooks ... then a WELCOME sign out of the beautiful blue boards
that I uncovered ... can be seen at Welcome Sign Rusty Wire Wreath
Pretty nice ... so we made another one as seen here using some of the
same type architectural salvage.
Still had more boards to use and I wanted to make this one vertical instead of horizontal.
I had seen this cute miniature clock shelf on Mamie Jane's and thought I would give it a try ... well, actually be a "copy-cat".

We took some old door locks and the next board became this .... a narrow shelf some of my small, vintage clocks. You can see the keyhole and the square hole for the knob.
You need the locks with the metal piece on the front. I even stuck an old key in the keyhole.
The small one on the side with the knob is the first one I have ever seen ... likely on a closet door. Just added an old metal number for fun.
Likely cost less than $10.00 to make.
Here it is !!! Ain't she pretty ????
As you can see, the lock pieces are staggered to the sides ... not down the middle and spaced for one large clock and two small ones.
I get a lot of inspiration from her.
Hope you enjoyed seeing what I love to do.
Blessings,

Your lock/wood/clock shelf is wonderful. What a great mix of wood, metal and ingenuity.
This is great! I always love what you do.
I've been collecting - an old lock, a piece of weathered wood, etc. so I can copy what you do! Love it! ~ Maureen
Looks wonderful, Audrey! Aren't those old door locks perfect for small shelves? I bought a box full of the to use!

Love it Audrey, it's great. I'm going to be looking out for some of those locks from now on !
Hi Audrey,
I love how your clock shelf turned out. The wooden fragment piece was the perfect addition to the top and I also love the idea of adding the house number!! Thanks for the shout out!!

So cute Audrey, I love it.
A great project - it's pretty, useful and artistic. A real winner! I may be a double copy cat because I think I need one of these too.
This is awesome! I love the way you staggered them and added the door knob and swirly piece on top. Repurposing at its finest! Yes, Jane is a master repurposer.
Pinning this one. Great job!
That is a beautiful shelf! I love it with the clock display.
