Birthday present

Project by Bill Hall posted 730 days ago 491 views 2 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a clock that I made of figured maple and cherry for my Father’s 60th birthday. I finished it with amber shellac to give it an antique look. It presented me with a lot of new challenges as an aspiring woodworker.

I like what you have done.
I have a kit and a few ideas, just haven’t made it come to life yet.

Bill Great Clock. I’ve made a bunch but most of mine were made from Wood Slabs. Big and heavy.
