Mantle Clock

Project by Thos. Angle posted 332 days ago 371 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a clock I built for a friend for Christmas. It is basically a plywood box with face frame and top and bottom. The box is red oak plywood, pocket screwed together. The top, bottom and face frame are Red Oak. The face is carved 14 oz. skirting leather backed with 1/2 inch ply. The clock came from Woodcraft. The stain is Brazilian rosewood gel stain from Min-Wax. Topped with one coat of shellac and 4 coats of lacquer. The clock is 12 inches high and the box is 9 inches wide. A nice easy project and fun as well. Merry Christmas.

Thomas I’m gonna have to think of something to make that needs leather work on it, a cool chair maybe. Could I talk you into doing it for me?

Beautiful tooling and clock. I did some tooling in college but nothing like the caliber you do. You are by far one of the best toolers I have ever seen. A true craftsman of this craft. Merry Christmas and God Bless to you and your family.
