Myrtle & Sheoak Clock

**bassmansimon** · 14th June 2014, 06:18 PM

Here is a clock I turned from a piece of Myrtle. The buttons for each hour are made from some cross-cut sheoak pen blanks. They are done using cross-cut timber so that you don't see end-grain as the buttons. They were cut out using a 1/2 inch plug cutter, and glued into the clock face before a final turning.

The clock face is 235mm diameter.

Comments and critique welcome.

Looks good.

(And it can double as a plate if you're quick.)

Good work Simon. I think to add a little more visual interest you could make the 1,2,4,5,7,8,10 &11 dots a little smaller than the others.

Thanks Brendan. I like that idea! Will try it on the next one.

Lovely looking clock. Does the lip on the outside produce a lot of a shadow?

Not much. Where it is situated at the client's house it has good lighting
