Stephen Holehan Sundials ™
All dials with the exception of the "Deco" are available as Octagonal Plates.
Stephen prefers to work closely with his clients to ensure that each dial carries the sentiment that the client wishes it to carry. He can work with text size to ensure that its placement and proportion is in harmony with the chosen dial.
There are designs to show local apparent time (time as told by the sun) or be made to enable standard time to be calculated (clock time) the latter includes an Equation of time graph to factor in the “time fast” “time slow” conundrum associated with sundials.These sundial plates are made from brass and are supplied with a matte finish, they will quickly begin to patinate and develop a rich bronze-brown colour.
Installation instructions and location specific solarnoon chart are provided with each dial to allow for accurate sundial alignment. Stephen recommends using modern adhesive for fixing; details in installation instructions.
However if customers prefer; dials can be pre drilled for screwing down to plinths. Matching screws will be supplied free of charge.. There is no extra charge for the motto engraving.
All dials are solid brass 3.0 mm thick plate with a 6mm thick buttressed gnomon. All supplied fully assembled.
