    Default Table clock

    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

    cheers

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

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

    Great looking clock! And, I'll bet your shop smelled great while you were building it.

    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.

    The workshop smelled absolutely delightful

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