Myrtle & Sheoak Clock
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.

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.

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