Not my first scrollsaw project, obviously, but the one that I’m most proud of. Nearly a year in the works, with a whole lot of down time due to a shaft problem with my thickness planer. Pattern by John A. Nelson, from a book of 5 patterns. Two left to do.

Not a lot of long replies, here. It’s hard to be verbose when you’re awe struck. Wow was my first thought, too. -SST

I hate to just say WOW, it’s been said already. But I know if you sat that in front of 100 people who had some concept of how much work went into it…95 would say WOW, the other 5 would just be speechless.

Thaniks guys for the multitude of WOWs. The clock is solid oak, stands 48 inches high and 15×18 on the base. Finish – just a clear spray coat, don’t even remember the brand. No way to use a brush or other similar tool for finishing, just too many holes to catch and hold the finish itself. If you brush or even spray before you cut, the cutouts will have a bit of a different colour. Need a glass case now, it’s a bugger for collecting dust.

My wife does most of the scroll saw projects in our house. She wants to do one of these detailed clocks, but I doubt she has the patience for one of that intricacy. Nice work indeed!
