Here's a photo of granddaughter, Norah, and the ANCR sundial she made as part of her Eagle scout project. The dial will be installed at her high school. Very proud!

(They make a wonderful gift for that special person or occasion!) 

And unlike generic dials sold in garden stores and big box outlets, ANCR uses your exact latitude, longitude, and time zone to plot the hour lines of your personalized sundial.

Please Note: Our website is featured on the North American Sundial Society's Artisan's web page:

and the French website of Sundial Makers:

Each sundial pattern is cut on a dedicated CNC router using over 40,000 lines of machine code, and takes over 5-1/2 hours to complete!

below -- just click the arrow in the center.)

After completely cooling from its pour temperature of 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, the sundial is machined and polished.
