I wanted to test some cherry that I recently picked up, so I thought I would tackle this clock. It is from a Woodsmith plan. I finished it with two coats of clear Danish oil. I am happy with the way it turned out as I am getting a little better at this “woodworkin stuff”.
Thanks for looking, and as always I appreciate any feedback, good and constructive.

Overall , a very nice clock : )
If you put it into a sunny room , that Cherry will darken up all by itself in no time at all. : )

Thanks guys.
I bought two sets of clock works and am planning to build another one with some walnut I have.
Hopefully I can eliminate a couple of the things that tripped me up on this one. The mitered frame around the glass is not as “tight” as I would have liked, but it seems to keep acurate time.. (*_^)

Very nice looking clock. I think one of those has to go on my short list; if it goes on my long list, it will still be sitting there when I’m gone. Nice job – the cherry looks nice and as someone said, if you place it in a window for a few days, rotating it occasionally, the cherry will darken nicely.
Thanks for posting.

So what does the Cherry look like now , after more than a year ? Is it ripe yet ? : )

Looks great! I’ve made this exact same clock, though mine was hickory and darker stain. Fun clock to make!
