ScollSaw Slasher Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Just finishing up this clock. Going to let it set for a few days and do some minor touch ups. Decided to do it with Baltic Birch plywood since I've never worked with it before. That was an adventure! Besides those warm fuzzys, some delamination of the plys. Also, couldn't get a good cherry stained look, and decided to get out the paint for the finished project. Learned a ton on this one with the different blades used and the delicate fretwork. Next up will be some portraits. Every Scroller has to do a John Wayne! Blake wombatie, jollyred, Fish and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 A good quality Baltic birch should not delaminate. Baltic Birch ply in general does not stain well even when I use a pre stain on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I tried staining a piece with walnut stain and had the same results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolling Steve Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 That is some nice cutting Blake !....Most of my baltic birch projects just get a natural stain to bring out the grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScollSaw Slasher Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Got my Baltic birch at the local Woodcraft store. Thought that would be quality birch. I new the staining would be problematic because when I used birch ply for cabinets, it was typically for painted cabinets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Blake, it's a very nice looking clock, you did a fantastic job. I've never heard of BB plywood delaminating, are you sure it was BB? Most types of birch wood are very hard to stain, usually, it is painted or just clear coated. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allpurpose Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Nice work..very well done. Funny I have probably 20 clocks around the house and I usually could care less about what time it is. I just like the looks of different types of clocks.

heppnerguy Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I cut this same pattern for a wedding gift and because it was so large I had to wrap it in a vacuum cleaner box. She loves hers. Sorry you had the problem with the BB ply you bought. You might try Sloans on line. They have a good quality item and are very friendly people.

ScollSaw Slasher Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks to all for the compliments and advise. Mrs Slasher wasn't to hepped up on the colors so probably not going to keep it. The neighbors love it and asked me "how much"? Never thought about an asking price since I don't do this for money. But what price would you guys and gals put on something like this. I know on a hourly basis, only Donald Trump or his cohorts could afford it, but it's food for discussion.
