Project Information
As I mentioned, I owe my sister a clock for the burl she let me take from her yard. Here's the burl in my clamp getting ready to be Sawzalled into clock faces:
I'm being a very good little brother by using this particular face because the others don't have nearly as nice a combo of burl patterning mixed with light colored wood. Here are the others:
She has not seen the final product yet (weather permitting, I'll be driving back to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan next Friday to hand deliver her clock). She did have some say in selecting the style, and she liked my previous use of the two rods with a rod running diagonally through them.
Since this will be for her cabin that overlooks Lake Superior, I thought keeping some live edge around the clock would be a nice touch. It's finished in a semi-gloss poly.
I'm glad to be finished with this one. Excuse the pun, but each day that passed really reminded me that the clock was running out as Dec. 3 was approaching! I felt all the more pressure given the projects we'd started around the house plus hosting SeafoodsGiving.
I am told that her husband has another burl for me, so that will be good!
