Table clock

[Simomatra]

This is my very first time at clock making. The timber is camphor laurel and finished with a hard burnishing oil

Size 90x90x30mm

It is a present for the father in law for Christmas

Thanks for looking critique welcome

Hi Sam

I like it, simple, straight-forward and highlights the lovely grain. It also looks very stable/solid. Yeah, it's a winner, lucky Father-IL :D

cheers

When did this topic appear???? I really need to get out more :doh::B

Works for me Sam :2tsup: - anything but the simplest of shapes would have been too much for such a highly figured and coloured bit of timber.

The piece is solid, originally bought for pens but the clock appealed. I will have to get up to your part of the country for some more as I want to make a blanket box

I only noticed it the other day I also have to venture out more.

What's to criticise, a great piece of wood that has been enhanced by the hard burnishing oil. Nice and simple great looking clock
