Mantle/Desk Clock

Some nicely figured cocobolo and the design looks pretty cool from here : )

Did you have a pattern for the pieces? Love the openness in the design.

Do we get one if we get married again? Mom and Dad too?

won’t be any returns with this one nice design & completion, lucky couple, well done :))

Beautiful! Nice design, great wood, super build, I like it!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Very nice design. Looks great.

What a great looking clock! Love the wood and the lines… Well done…...

That cocobolo looks nice. I especially like your orientation of the top piece, where the grain is centering and pointing down to the clock face, directing your eye to the time.

Interesting lines. I am trying to imagine how this would look with different clock faces in it?

Very nice looking clock, great choice if woods!

Question: Did you modify the clock insert, or did you use the “Leg” mounts?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Jacob, No pattern for the design, just french curves to lay out the curves. What is it, 46 more years before you get to remarry, so plently of time to make another one.

Jonathan, If I was going to do it again I would use a different clock insert. While I like the open look with the gears it is hard to see the hands from across the room. Also it has a loud tick-tock.

SgrSnfu, The clock insert was not moditied, the leg mounts are still used and connect to the lower rail.

Beautiful clock! I love the open design of the movement but have to agree that most open gear designs are not the easiest to read from a distance. The wood is gorgeous and the design of the frame with the dished cross members and the curved legs looks absolutely beautiful.

Awesome job!!!

Thank you for sharing. :o)

-- Are you going to use that piece of scrap?

Nate,

I understand you don’t have patterns. Can you tell me the diameter of the clock face itself?

Thanks

gazingm42: The clock is 5” in diameter.
