Finished Walnut Clock for Christmas

[Rick de Roque]

I finished this clock for my mom this weekend. The Walnut burl face is some burl veneer Dennis Peacock gave me last year (thanks Dennis). I finally got to use some. It was nice to do a smaller project after doing some larger ones this year. It is 9" x 11". Finish is BLO and lacquer.

Thanks,
Rick

Really nice. Love the burl and the curly walnut. Your mother is going to be thrilled.

[John Schreiber]

Isn't it great giving Mom presents you made yourself. I feel like I'm in 2nd grade again, but now she doesn't put them on the edge of the counter top and "accidentally" knock them onto the floor.

[Jason Tuinstra]

Very nice Rick. The walnut really pops. Great job.

[Ron Robinson]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Its nice to be able to show other woodworkers stuff because most people look and just think that it looks like the same as wally world stuff but a woodworker knows the difference.
Thanks again,
Rick

hi rick
great piece. it is hard to go wrong with walnut. you did a good job of blending the burl veneer and what I assume is solid stock for the rest of the clock. nice color

Like that a lot. Nice clean design that lets that beautiful wood stand out.

Rick, that is quite a nice piece. That walnut is absolutely beautiful. I especially like the clock face - it really looks good and goes perfectly with the clean design.
