heppnerguy Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Both look very nice. It sure brings one a lot of pleasure when you give a piece of you hobby to someone else to enjoy. I especially like making things for my wife and family. Dick heppnerguy Danj84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Dan Thank you very much I agree I much prefer the clock I enjoyed making this one,the rose was ok but very fragile and I don't like doing lettering as you can spot mistakes easier lol!!

John B Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Both look really good. I see what you mean by the rose being fragile. A lot of thin cross grain. Danj84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
