christmas clock

[John Daugherty]

Here is a clock I just finished for a christmas present. It is qs white oak. The finish is a light coat of a dark trans-tint and two coats of amber shellac. I still need to add the glass in the top.

This is my first time working with white oak.

Beautiful job, Jim! Great craftsmanship!

[Jim Becker]

Great job on this clock. It looks good in oak and you did a wonderful job on the grain arrangement with the QS material. NYW design?

[Jason Tuinstra]

John, very nice. I agree with Jim. It looks like a NYW design. I say this because I built one myself. Good job.

[Gary Whitt]

Nice job!

I love Shaker style furniture.

[Keel McDonald]

Not bad John. The quarter sawn oak really makes the clock come alive. Keep it up and you just may get good at this stuff (ha ha!).

[Donnie Raines]

Very nice....clean & simple design....I like! :cool:

[Jim Guy]

I have made several of those clocks and know that they may look simple, but simple only looks good when it is done well. This one looks great.

[Lee Schierer]

Looks like your clock is done in time for Christmas. Good work.

[John Daugherty]

Thanks for all the nice replies. The clock is of Normesque design. This is the second one I have made. The first was from found mahogany from a busted dresser. I have recently started turning, so I turned the knobs for this clock also.

John, I really like the looks of that! Nice job. I'm gonna have to try some qswo one of these days.

[Carl Eyman]

Great job. Like your choice of finish. Give us an idea of the size. What kind of movement? Again very nice.

[Dick Parr]

Very nice John. :) Someone is going to be very lucky at Christmas.

[Michael Stafford]

Beautifully executed John! Really nice job and a wonderful gift!

[Jerry Olexa]

A very special gift! Great job!
