My wife wants me to build a wood clock. I have a gorgeous piece of very curly shedua, and getting movements is easy enough.
I would like wood hands, but can't find anything but walnut, and I need ash or maple. Any idea where they might be available?
I want to inlay hour markings, but have never done anything like that before. I imagine you outline it with an exacto knife, remove it with a chisel, and cut a piece to fit... but do you know of any online instruction on how to do it? I expect I will do a few dozen on scraps before I go near the piece of shedua.
