Thanks for the kind words.
The woods are river vein walnut, and maple.
This small project has taken as much time as some of the larger things due to all the small parts and details, but it was a good excuse to buy some new tools!
I will probably use tongue oil for a finish.

Hi Wade,

This is a very nice looking clock. I have often said that good craftmanship can’t be rushed so don’t worry about how long it is taking. I am looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

wow that looks great so far. i can’t wait to see the finished piece.

Looks great!

To answer Dan’s question, you’ll have to paint it white to look like Roman architecture. :-)

Looks nice so far. Did you turn the columns yourself?

-- John

Off to a great start. Looking forward to the finished project.

Regarding the columns, yes I did turn them, and they are tapered from bottom to top.
It gave me a good excuse to get a lathe duplicator.
