Making a Rustic Clock

On #3 of this series I flattened out a slice from a Birch stump. I went on & completed the job today. I also added it to My Projects.
The size is about 25" x 20' x 2 1/2" , & it weighs about 20 pounds. I made the motor cavity larger to lighten it up a little.

_The other day I routed out the backside for the clock motor.

I checked out the motor installation.

Carved some numbers on the face.

I carved a Maple leaf for the pendulum weight.

I hung the clock today.

I stained it with an Ipswitch Pine Stain, & 3 coats of Minwax Polywipe.

Dick, this is so creative. It's terrific! What's the rough diameter and how much do you think it weighs?

Thanks Dick. I went over to the other post where you are placing it on the wall. It gives a much better perspective as to diameter and weight (of course, I just noticed the ruler laying on the piece in this post, duh).

I think that makes an interesting point to all of us when we post project pics though. Adding a human dimension to the photo really explains a lot at-a-glance. Thanks again Dick.
