A clock I made for my wife for our 5th wedding anniversary. Its only the wood anniversary so no pressure, right?

Full disclosure: I didn't make the clock hands, I just bought them off Amazon.
The Majority of the wood used is old (oak?) barn wood taken from the barn that we were married in front of on my family's farm. You can even see an old nail hole next to a hash mark between the 4 and the 5. Used primarily silver "shimmer" vinyl for the clock face which looks great in person but is an absolute nightmare to photograph. I've included a different, if not better, photo as well that shows that part more clearly.
I followed this Fisher's Shop video to learn how to get my weave on.
Update: I painted the hands silver and I think it looks much better.
I agree with you 100%. My anniversary isn't for another week so I might pop the hands back off and paint them. Thanks for the feedback.
Agreed. The hands need to be literally any bright color. White might be tasteful. Red might be striking. Even a bright orange might work depending on the room.
Why not pop the image into a photo editor and experiment?
Edit: I’d also think about whether the second hand adds anything.
I will say that the second hand does add an elegant constant motion around the face that doesn't translate well in a photo. I was particular about the kit I ordered to make sure I didn't get a herky jerky tick tock clock. But thank you for your feedback!
