It's been complete for a couple of weeks just had to wait until it was delivered. I built this as a retirement gift for a very dear friend of mine, Leon Cubillias. I have know this man for over 20 years and he has given so much to our community especially the children it is truly a honor to be considered his friend. Leon came to our school district 29 years ago as a substitute teacher, he became a full time teacher, asst. principal, principal, curriculum coordinator, asst. superintendent and finally 13 years ago our superintendent during which time he has touch many people in a very positive way. I could go on and on about the many positive things he has contributed to our community but won't since this a WWing site, not a place to brag on someone that no one else here knows.
So on to the clock, built out of cherry the overall demensions are 78"h x 25"w x 14.5"d, built complete from rough material I made all the molding and columns, the only manufactured products were glass, plywood back, hardware and clock works. The finish was BLO, 3 days in the sun to give it a tan, 3 coats of sprayed on garnet shellac, 8-10 coats of Target Coatings USL gloss Lacquer, then buffed with 0000 steel wool and paste wax.
Thanks for looking
