Geeze Time flies – down to only one kiddo in elementary school. So we have done pencil holders when I had 3 in elementary, then boxes now we went for a clock.
Project is 8/4 maple with purpleheart layed into the grooves. It was a nice straighforward projet to do with a 10 hear old, cutting 1/4 inch deep 1/8 inch groves on the tablesaw, and drilling for the clock insert at the drill press + sanding.
The project is fom Wood Magazine July 2011 issue 205

Nice job on both the clock and the child. Teachers will want you to have more kids!

Very impressive, at this rate he’ll be giving a wooden gear clock to his high school teacher. Obviously your son has a great teacher at home too.

Thanks everybody. It is nice to get away from the rush of the Malls and school wrapping up and spend a couple evenings in the shop with the kids instead.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to all!

I can’t express how great it is that your 10 year old is doing wooworking at this level – even doing inlay!
I would have given anything for my dad to get me started woodworking at 10 years old.
What an advantage your son has over other kids.
