Leopardwood & Wenge Clock

Beautiful, well made and looks great.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

That really is beautiful. Do you mind sharing the finish you applied to the leapardwood? I’ve been experimenting to find a good one myself, but I’ve been struggling. Thanks!

Love it, looks fantastic. Really displays the beauty of the wood with a relatively simple design. Very nice.

Very nice use of some beautiful wood.

It is about as simple a finish as it gets (just how I like it)!!! Its Watco Danish Oil liberally applied with a buffing in between coats with 0000 steel wool. I do this about three or four times until the wood will not take anymore of the oil and give it a final buffing so it has a silky smooth finish.

Thanks for the info. It really does look great. I’ll try a test piece. I’m working with lacewood, but it should be very similar.

Beautiful looking clock, love the wood.
