Great work !

I think I don’t want to make 24 of anything. But these are really nice.

God bless you for making so many of one item . I get bored if I try to make two of anything , never mind two dozen ! What is the “green” in your own private clock and what woods / finishes did you use for all of the clocks ?

Thanks everyone. It does get old after awhile of working on so many of the same item. The sanding was the worst. I hate to sand anything and having to sand so many of the same thing was extemely monotonous. Even though I did a sort of production line, if I stopped in the middle, I had a hard time remembering which was done and which was next.
The clock bodies are maple and the inlay for most was purpleheart. I ran out of purpleheart so there were a couple that had walnut inlays. I wanted to try something different so the green inlay for my clock was Inlace green metalic dye and system three epoxy. This was the first time I worked with epoxy and had some problems with air bubbles and even with shrinkage, but overall I liked the way it turned out.

what is the veneer around the top and sides ? Is it Cherry ?

I’ve had some issues with shrinkage in the past as well : )

The woods that you chose go well together and I like your designs.

Hey Dusty56, there is nothing xtra on the top and sides. It must have to do with the lighting when the pictures were taken. I didn’t even notice until you said something.

ok , thanks for the feedback : )
