The Saranac desk clock

Project by pashley posted 331 days ago 518 views 1 time favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

In this piece, I attempt to meld together two styles that I have a taste for – Rustic Adirondack and Mission.

This was a gift for my wife for Christmas.

Materials: Blonde maple, with Paduak trim; Soapstone face and pendulum bob; birch bark panels adorned with birch twig and pine cone.

Dimensions: Approximately 11“H x 15“W x 6“D

Finish: Clear shellac, finished with three coats of Briwax.

Whoah! This caught my eye immediately from the front page. Not just the color and use of materials, but the proportions. You nailed them so accurately that the thumbnail actually looks like a full-sized buffet table! VERY nicely done!

I’m glad you put in the last picture. It was hard to tell the exact proportions. A nice job.
