Well...for those that I have been exchangeing PM's with..I think I kept calling this clock a "Shaker" tall clock. Clearly it is not that. But, it does look very much like a clock my wife and I really enjoyed at a historic home here in Milford. It is made of ash and pianted with Milk paint topped with lacquer. The clock face was recycled from a yard sale find.... :rolleyes:

That's a very unique piece, Donnie...I don't think I've ever seen one with a crown like that! Nice job.

That is a very unusual clock with a very different bonnet on it. Nice work, the finish looks great as well!

Donnie, that is a one of a kind clock! I have never seen one like it, but I sure do like it! :)

Thanks for the post guys. The blue paint is not as bold as it appears in the photo...thank my hi quailty camera for that. The top was the hardest thing to settle on. At first, my wife and I were not sure how well we liked the top of the item at the historical house. After a few trips the top grew on us.

Thanks again for the comments.

Pretty neat design, and nice execution. It sort of resembles a chess piece.

I love making clocks.

One can be as creative as they want when designing them.

Donnie,
Very interesting piece. Nice job on the execution of the "reproduction". Glad to see you are still doing good woodworking.

Have you gotten to a point where you have been reaquiring equipment?

David,

The shop is coming back together. The issue now is time...or lack thereof...more so then funds. I actually view the "experience" as a blessing: my new shop was in my garage and I really did not like working in the garage. So I have bought some smaller equipment and been working in my basement. Not that this much better(my old house was a detached shop... :( ) but it is better then the garage.

Thanks for the comments.
