Project Information

I was researching a small clock on Rockler.com and someone had posted a really cool clock they had made. At first I couldn't tell what it was, so I did a little research on the web and found it was an octahedron, or two pyramids back-to-back. Its actually really simple to make once you figure out the trick. I built this one out of Canary wood, but I've since made them out of Cherry and walnut.

Hey BeechPilotBarry, I am quite close to BDL and almost directly under the 33 flight path. What types of planes to you fly? I use to fly a Cessna out in Seattle. I worked for Boeing as a stress analyst. Hence the name "Wingstress." I haven't flown since the kids were born, which is why I took up woodworking. I find it much less stressful than flying and just as; if not more rewarding. But, at the same time its just as expensive. I don't know how you do both.

Dusty56, it was finished with shellac and some wax. Nothing fancy. The wood did all the talking on this one.
