>Here's the clock I've been working on. As you might see,there's no second hand or pendulum. The clock isn't finished,but the case is.
Give me a little slack,I'm used to making buildings,not furniture.
Finish is blo-turps and mylands clear wax.
Primary wood is cherry from a local tree cut down for firewood originally and saved as planks 25 years ago,air dried in a barn.The back is local yellow birch.
Some machine work but hand tools wherever my skill level allowed it.Round door is six pieces mitered with splines.Bottom door is a lap miter joint done completely by hand and rabbetted by hand for the glass.The box is rabbetted at the corners with the back set in a groove along the back edge.Moldings all shaped with plane,file,scraper,etc.This wood has never seen a piece of sandpaper.I shaped and rabbetted the round door with a router and removed all traces of it with scrapers.
And I learned it all right here at Woodcentral.Thanks,Ellis and everyone who participates in this great resource.
