    Default First Clock.

    Hello groovers!!!!! I have been starved of woodwork living here in Japan, so at Chrissy I made some clock faces from scrap and brought them back to Japan. Face is cypress flooring with 2 strips of mulga and the center piece is red cedar. Finish is Shellac and wax (Kiwi boot polish).
    Now to the interesting part, the numbers. I have been doing stained glass here in Japan and have been introduced to fusing/melt of glass in the microwave. Scrap glass was used to create an interesting design.

    Let me know what you think. Damien.
    I'm a dancing fool! The beat goes on and I'm so wrong!!!!

    Very interesting look Damien had to make out the centre piece.
    Kiwi Parade Gloss Neutral works wonders to high gloss trouble is every time you walk past you feel you have to salute.

    Thanks Wheelin, I just wanted something different from the normal plastics decals that are supplied with the mechanism. Have to find a wall for it. Damien.
