A twist on clocks

Some great looking Clocks.

OK, these are cool for a couple reasons. First of all I love live edge products. Secondly, few people actually show appreciation for anything now days. Says a lot for you as well. As do your other projects. Nice work. If you are in western south Dakota holler. I’ll give you a couple pieces to work with.

Great looking clocks, love the shells as they add allot to the pieces.

Great looking clocks, little trivia question. Why do they (some clock makers) use four roman number 1’s for the number “4” instead of the traditional “IV” as a number “4”? You’d be surprised at the number of people that never noticed the 4 roman one’s

Thanks for all the compliments. Just a little positive reinforcement is all it takes to make a guy want to get right back into the shop.

These are real nice. They would look great in my brother’s log cabin on the river.

Great clocks, great ideas, and very well done! Keep at it! Thanks for pics.

Ignorant question but here goes…how do you keep the wood from fading? I have some cedar’s outback that would work well for a similar style but I expect they would quickly fade to grey.

The sun is the biggest enemy. The first clock I made was an anniversary gift to my wife and it’s been on the wall in our living room for almost two years. It hasn’t faded noticeably. I think once you get a clear coat of lacquer or varnish on the wood you’ve pretty much sealed the deal.
That layer of grey will come off easily with a planer or just a lot of sanding too.
