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.

But, a very good looking clock.... Job well done.

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?

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

That is one nice clock!

Wish I had time to do one of those - I have so many patterns for them just no time and no wood LOL

Clock is on my list of things I want to make.

Then After a clock that I didn't do the motion for I like to make one motion and all.

Great work.

2 weeks?  That's great. This one took me 2 months.  But I'm old, slow, lazy, and take a lot of naps.
