Mission Style Mantle Clock

Project by Garyb6 posted 399 days ago 1330 views 3 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I just finished this clock to give as a gift. I made it from QS Red Oak. The finish is the same I used for the Morris Chair and Chest of Drawers. Water based analine dye, shellac, mahogony gel, and 3 more coats of shellac. I printed the clockface out and mounted it to a 1/4” board and covered it with 3 coats of spray on poly.

Beautiful Clock! I would be terrified to try a spray finish.

The finish is not sprayed. Only the clock face. The clock itself is rubbed on shellac.

Wonderful clock – it is clever in the way it looks a lot deeper than it is.
