Square Gall Wall Clock

With the skewed frames, I like this one the best Van, the grains look great. That was a good find on the lumber.

Yeah, thanks for prompting me to try it square!

First, let me say I find both pleasing. Although my wife would like this one better because it is more symmetrical. I, on the other hand, like the first one better because it is more abstract – ergo – far more interesting and thought provoking.

I’m partial to the other clock too, but I like how this one turned out.

Thanks!

My mind see’s this one as a keeper versus the last one

Thanks, Dick!

I am playing with the idea of doing a square over a rectangle… that would be a rectangle main frame and a square outer frame.

My mind see s this one as a keeper versus the last one

I think both versions are worthy efforts!

Your basement looks like my shop after a project marathon, only your space is more organized and cleaner 8^)

Glad you like them! Gotta take a woodworking break for a few days. Got my anniversary and just got a daughter home with her wisdom teeth out.

But, I think my next project might be to see if I can replicate that shadow box.

Thanks for looking!

Amazing…Your variations on a theme…Each stands alone and they all go together…Impressed!

That shop space has lots of potential…A project in it’s self…

Great looking clock…Nothing controversial there…

Looking at your projects pages, you’ve come a long way in three months…

Far out….

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Thanks, Jack! I think a lot of my growth has come from joining LJs. The idea that I’ll be posting my projects really pushes me to do my best. Plus, I’ve received a lot of encouraging critique that has upped my game.

I was just looking through my photos on my phone and saw that I attempted and finished my first clock on Nov. 3.

Almost 2 months later, I’ve made 20 clocks (one I sold and one I gave to my sister)

I hope to have 35 to 50 clocks by May (though I also might mix in some of those shadow boxes)

Even colder weather is coming to Michigan, so we’ll see how that affects productivity.

As always, thanks for looking and commenting!

thats it bud,nailed it on this one.my only suggestion is move the hanger so it’s not visible,it’s stands out right above the clock face.

Thanks, Pottz! And moving the hanger makes sense. I have some of that ambrosia board left, so I think I’ll take a shot at replicating this clock.

That is my favorite.

-- Hey I'm Dyslexic! I don't have all day to check and re-check forum post.

This one is a WINNER. Perfect amount of empty space, not too busy, awesome balance.
