Floral Cathedral Clock

[Tim Bateson]

My wife has been wanting a centerpiece for our craft shows. Now that the Christmas rush is over, I've had time to complete the Floral Cathedral Clock - a Berry Basket Scroll Saw design.
I had to do some conversions as the design was for 1/4 wood. Mine is a mix of 1/4 and 1/8 ply. There were also a few design flaws that I've corrected for any future use. I wanted something different for the finish, so I used gray primer prior to assembly and 2 different kinds of texture paint for the finish. The job took 2 hours of laser time & 7 sheets of 24x12 ply. The setup - plan conversion clean-up between sheets & finishing was well over a week of work.

Nice choice of colour there Tim. I can see that you have done a wonderful job of putting it all together, well done.

[Ray Uebner]

All I can say is WOW Looks great. That should be a show stopper.:)

[Mike DeRegnaucourt]

Good job Tim!

[Steve Clarkson]

Nice job Tim! That design alone almost makes me want to buy that Berry Basket CD!

I really like your choice of paint.....at first glance, I thought it was Corian!

[Tim Bateson]

Thank you gentlemen.

[George McGinnis]

Very nice. Good job!

[Phil Garcia]

Tim that looks fantastic. Someone is bound to make an offer at the show....? What would you ask for such a piece??

[Tim Bateson]

I haven't thought much about a price. I do know that at a craft show I'm not likely to get the $1/min of laser time or about $120. Those folks are finicky about spending money. They'll bulk at any reasonable price tag for something like this, but open their wallets wide for and old fork with plastic jewels glued to it, or a glass block with a bunch of Christmas lights shoved in it.
I look for this to be more of an attention getter.

Nice job, that's a lot of work even with a laser assist.

You missed a bit of scrap (knock-out) above the lower left flower.

[Tim Bateson]

Thanks Mitchell, Thousands of those little pieces, I'm not surprised I missed one. I am surprised it just happened to be on the one close-up I did. lol
This project did teach me to have a bag-less ShopVac under the table - quicker clean-up between sheets.

Good Eye Mitchell ;)
Great job Tim :)

I hope it attracts a lot of buyers instead of just tire kickers.
