Clocks!

 

Shelf Clock

 

 

This is my first clock. I made it for a colleague as a housewarming gift. The cheap camera I had in those days did not do justice to the color or grain, but you get the idea. Ash with Carver Tripp Honey Pine stain and a couple coats of wipe on Poly. The design comes from Wood Magazine (November 2002).

 

 

Mantle Clock

 

My second clock project was a Mantle clock for my spouse. It took a bit more time than the shelf clock and was a lot of fun to build.

 

 Clock has a 6" face and is 16 3/4" tall. Materials are White Oak, finished with Minwax Tung Oil finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wall Clock

 

This third clock project was a Christmas gift for a colleague. It was the most challenging of the three. It has a double door design so you do not have to take the clock off the wall to set it or change the battery.

 

The clock has a quartz movement, does not gong and has a paper parchment dial from Klockit.com. Great folks that I highly recommend for clock parts.

The case is White Oak and finish is a home brew of equal parts of polyurethane, boiled linseed oil and Naphtha.
