Mantle Clock Finished

[Wes Newman]

Just finished up a mantle clock I am making for my parents 30th anniversary. Spalted Maple with a walnut drawer. I designed the clock face in Microstation, and printed it out on card stock. Finish is BLO and several coats of satin deft spray lacquer(sp).

Thanks for Looking

[Jim Dunn]

Simply beautiful! Hope your parents enjoy it as much as I have looking at it.

Wes, nice wood & nice clock!

I'm curious - Did you run into any respiratory issues working the spalted stock? I've heard some people don't tolerate the dust well.

Thanks for sharing!

Mike, I had no problems, but I always use a dust mask when planing, jointing, and cutting. It did not smell like the maple I'm used to though.

Great job Wes. I would like to build a clock one day. My wife and I keep busy building things for the family so we seldom build for us.
