Hi everyone, been lurking here for a long time now and had a question about a project I would like to make.
I would like to build the clock pictured below, it was featured on Woodworks on DIY.. David Marks used veneer to make up the clock face, and me without a bandsaw/drumsander makes that a bit hard. I was wondering if there would be any problems using maybe 1/4 stock instead of the thin veneer and just gluing that to a backer of maybe 1/2 inch oak plywood.. (or something else I should use?)
Also wanted some opinions on the wood choices. He used wengae and quilted maple stock.. Pricey stuff, especially the maple from what I have seen. What would be a good replacement?
I was thinking maybe birdseye maple and curly black walnut? That sound like it would give the same effect and look nice?
Thanks for any help
