Let me say upfront that this pattern requires a specific hourglass sold on Amazon. The current price is $12.99. If in the future, the glass goes out of stock the pattern may no longer be usable. These glasses are designed to pretty tight specs but you may need to make a slight adjustment if the one you get is taller or shorter. This is a 60-minute timer.
The hourglass is nine inches tall. It is cut from 1/4" thick Baltic birch plywood. This was my test cut. If I were going to make this project as a gift I probably would not use BB ply. I would use a nice hardwood like walnut.
