Round Top Mantle Clock

This clock was inspired by a small round top mantle clock of mine and the larger dual dial calendar clocks of the good ol days. To make the top I cut 3- 12” rings 1 1/2” wide out of 3/4” thick walnut. I cut them all in half and glued them up in a stack of 4. I cut 2 pieces 20 1/2×3 1/2 wide for the sides, cut a filler for the bottom of appropriate size and assembled the carcass shell. A remaining half round circle and a rail and 2- 1 1/2” styles made the door. Base is two rectangles with decorative profiles routered on them. The calendar clock movement and the day of the week movement are mounted on maple faced 1/4” plywood. The overall dimensions of the clock are 28 3/8” tall x 15 1/2” wide, at the base. The finish is min-wax walnut and lacquer. Thanks for looking.
