"A unique clock that looks like it was FORMED from a just-split tree. We cut a log in half and inserted the time telling mechanism." If you miss the word "FORMED" it sounds like it it a real log, plus the name of the company. It's not wood but a fabricated material to look like wood. From a distance its fine looking (I guess). Also, the name of the company is Benchmaster again indicating someone making a clock out of wood. But I think the marketing should say FAUX for false. Also, it took about 10 days past the longest timeline to get the clock.
