Contemporary Desk Clock

[sapwood]

First attempt to use BLO and shellac for finish. Will apply some wax when I get it. I have Briwax, but for reasons I can't remember Jeff Jewitt said it was not the brand to use :roll:

Thanks rhett for the curly maple! When I figure out photo lighting you might be able to see it :lol:

Looks real nice Roger.
Is that the final version of the prototype you had at the outing?

hummm wow great picture there and same with the clock I really like that design...

 

[sapwood]

Thanks folks! The basic idea was uh, purloined :lol:
Obviously the woodworking skill level required is minimal . . . three pieces of wood. Yep Ron, that's it. 90% of the time spent on project was tinkering with the design. I think it would work with a larger (3") clock too.

Great looking clock Roger! You don't give yourself enough credit. I have seen some pretty remarkable stuff that was produced in your shop. Wish I had the talent and time you do...
Take care,

Nice job Roger. I like the design and wood contrasts. Good job on the pictures too. Both pictures taken and no time off the clock!!

Both pictures taken and no time off the clock!!

But it took him 4 hours and 48 minutes to PhotoShop out the background

:rotflm: :rotflm:

Looks good, you obviously put some "time" into that.:lol:

 

[cpowell]

Cool looking clock, Roger. I like the design and color (wood species) choices.

:rotflm: :rotflm:

Actually, it was only about 15 minutes. Using a solid background and the "Magic Wand" set to low tolerance (12) it was easy to clean up. But I definitely need to set up multiple lighting sources to eliminate the shadows. Or I could just run down to Woodguy's "Studio" :lol:

Thanks again, the for encouragement :mrgreen:
