I had some cutoffs left from my cutting boards so I got the bright idea to make these clocks for my neices for Christmas. Don’t like to waste anything. I used the cutoff from two of the cutting boards and purple heart for the base and top. I used 2 3/4 inch clock and thermometer inserts. They are finished with 3 coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. I still have some cutoff material left from the other boards so I might do something similar with those.

You know what they say “waist not want not” Great use of the cut offs.

I have to ask if it is really 60 degrees F in the shop? Nice idea and cool looking.

To NYRockingChairs: Yes, it was actually 60 degrees in the shop. That’s not bad for this time of year in Oklahoma. I only run the heat when I have to. Pretty comfortable with a flannel shirt.

Thanks guys for the comments. Just a quick, simple project but I’m happy with the way they turned out.

Simple, clean lines, use of otherwise scrap. I’d say a winner all around…
