Another Clock

[ScollSaw Slasher]

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

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.

I tried staining a piece with walnut stain and had the same results

Well done. Great cutting.

That is some nice cutting Blake !....Most of my baltic birch projects just get a natural stain to bring out the grain.

[DWSUDEKUM]

Nicely done.  Thanks for sharing this with us Blake.

Fantastic cutting Blake.you also did a great paint job.

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.

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.

That clock is fantastic.  I love blue and white, have lots of it in my home.  Very well done Blake.  John Wayne was the portrait I ever cut.

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.

[Ron Johnson]

Great fret work Blake. Blue and white looks very effective. Well done.

[munzieb]

Great Looking clock. Color contrasts really work well.

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.

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.

[Casey Jourdan]

Very nice, I love the color choices!
