I had made one of these desk clocks about 2 years ago in Red Oak. A family member expressed an interest in having one, so I set about making a new one using some Quilted Maple that I had. It’s an original design – pretty simple, though.

I used a router with a circle jig to do the circles. The center piece with the clock movement swivels 360 degrees on 1/4” wooden dowels. The base has a simple 1/8” rabbet along the top edge. I finished it with 1 coat of pure tung oil, and 3 coats of Waterlox Original.

Dimensions are 7¾” x 7½” x 7½.

I think it’s great! Who’d have thought there was another unique variation on the desk clock. Really cool.

Well done! I bet it would make a great photo frame for a desk, or why not, since it swivels, put the clock on one side and a photo on the other.

I agree with Debbie – that is a good idea, bill. I was thinking of gearing up to make some more of those, so perhaps I’ll give the picture idea a try.
