Mini Grandfather clock & Mother Rose

[Danj84]

Made these as a gift for my mum and dad,both Steve good patterns. I had some oak worktop left over from my kitchen so used it up. first attempt at a clock i think it turned out ok, Also added a stand to the Mother rose as it was quite fragile. Finished with danish oil and 3 coats of clear varnish.

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.

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!!

Very nice pieces Dan. Both are very elegant looking.

Both look really good.
I see what you mean by the rose being fragile. A lot of thin cross grain.
