Burl Clock
Hi All
I don't get the chance to do much these days so jumped at the chance to try out the Mens Shed new Cougar 350VS
This slice of Mallee burl is 480 x 420 and was found at the WWW show in Sydney earlier this year
I have kept the turning to a minimum to let the grain and a loverly bit of spalting speak for them selfs
The finish is currently 5 coats of F/watson scandinavian oil ( not sure if I am happy with this I may take it apart,sand back and give it a few coats of satin WOP)
Look forward to your comments
Regards

Beautiful Graham, with real numbers instead of round dots.
My grandson would say, look Grandpa, that's not a fake clock as you have made.
I then had a table clock made for my daughter with round dots instead of a clock with real numbers.
This clock deserves a place on the wall in the house, I think it's very beautiful.

Nice looking clock Basher
Looks like it might want a heavy-duty hook to hang on though!!!
I reckon 5 coats of FW Scandinavian will look much the same as a couple of coats of WOP if the oil isn't buffed off soon enough! I used that stuff for about 10 years until I got sick of the poly in the Scandinavian not buffing off properly so that you have some glossy patches and some not so

hi BB,
love the RM burls,i think you have done a great job
am not a fan of shiny on burls,just think satin looks better
