Popular Post Rob Posted February 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I bought a few clock mechanisms recently in the hope they might sell well. The first pattern is by Steve Good, the second is from Creative Scrolling but modified to have a base. Both are in Red Beech finished with BLO. About 8 x 6 inches approx. Thanks for looking, Rob jollyred, Foxfold, frankorona and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Very nice work, I am dog guy, but I also think the darker wood looks better. And the two so very different shades of the same wood, made me wonder, so after some research and I found this to answer my question The dry heartwood is a light to medium red-brown colour. The sapwood is light brown to white and exhibits toning in greys, browns and greens. Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Nice work Rob! Seeing as they are both cut from the same wood, is the color difference due too light? Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another picture of the cats where the colour is much closer although it does have some streaking so you are probably right that that one is sapwood.
