This is my latest creation, for my mom for Christmas. It is made from curly maple with cherry knobs. The entire piece is solid wood with a bookmatched panel on the back. It has a quartz movement. The finish is 4 coats of tung oil with 2 coats of shellac rubbed out with 4/0 steel wool after each coat. It will replace a clock that she had that broke after many years of use.

You made that tree proud.

It was a great project to build. The plans were purchased from Woodcraft and were pretty straight forward. This is the first time I had built anything from plans, most of the time I design as I go but I wanted something unique for her. I appreciate all the feedback, this is a great site. Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Its me again I really like your clock so I went to Woodcraft for the prints but of course I could not locate them. Do you have a print number or the part number of the plans.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks MedicKen, I have recieved the information you sent me on the plans, hardware and everthing you need to build this clock. After going back to look up the info you sent me I realized the clock you made with your selection of wood made the one they pictured so different I didn’t recognize it as your clock. Your selection of wood made this clock standup and shout look at me.
Again, Thank You for the information.

Dear MedicKen
You built a really fine piece of work. That clock is truly exceptional.
I’d like to try to build one as well. Could you send me the information about where to get the plans as well?
Many thanks.
