Popular Post ben2008 Posted May 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Clock is finished My picture taking is not very good. The hands we picked out are too small. I have ordered some larger ones. They will be here next week.

FrankEV Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Very, very nice. Looking at the Pic, looks like all solid Walnut.. is that correct?. I just ordered some 1/4 and 1/8 material in Walnut and Maple and can appreciate the cost of the wood that you put into that clock plus the movement. What is you plans for it? Is it a keeper or is it on the market? ben2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a keeper or is it on the market? It is 1/4"solid walnut except for the backer behind the dial (1/4" oak) and a 3/8" piece of walnut for the housing base. I used 2/0 Olson reverse tooh blades for the entire clock. Yes, the walnut and the Westminster movement were over a hundred bucks. Plus others costs. Deft spray lacquer, dial, hands and whatever., I'm keeping it for now. Probably some family member will want it sooner or later. They know what a sucker I am. I never sell anything I make. I do this for the enjoyment and fun. I like to make clocks. This is my 4th fretwork clock. I have one more that I will (hopefully} do starting this fall. It is called the Guardian Angel clock. Thanks for the compliment Frank Ben meflick, new2woodwrk and FrankEV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
