Wallclock
I saw a unique-looking board of African Mahogany (aka. Sapele??) that I liked at the local big-box store. So I went with it 🙂 . It has lots of contrast across the grain, I think because it’s very flatsawn. Finish is natural Deft Danish Oil, 2 coats. I liked the flat satin finish so I didn’t even bother with wax.
This is the second wall clock I have finished, it is made from pine that I stained and finished with shellac and waxed it. This was the first sale I made, but to me it meant hope for my discovered love for real woodworking.

This is my interpretation on Pauls’ Theme. It is made from a board of “Clear” Pine from the local DIY. It is finished with foour coats of clear shellac
Decided I needed a weather station in my workshop. Don’t know if the Shakers would approve though.

Dark Elegance
Made from broken mattress slats from kindergarten
This was the first time I worked with mahogany, and it is such a beautiful wood. I make my things with mostly hand tools, only substituting in power tools for hand tools that I don’t have. The only thing on my clocks done with power tools are the grooves to slide the raised panel in, and the hole for hanging it on the wall. I hope I can find an owner for this who will enjoy it as much as I do. The insert is most likely going to be replaced, but this was the one I had on hand so I used it.
Christmas present for my Mom…. She loved it!!
Two wallclocks. The first in Pine (the little one) and the second in Oak. Finished with amber and clear shellac.

first wallclock plenty of imperfections but I couldn’t be happier; I can’t wait to take these learnings and make the next one
Red Oak Clock
Thank you very much for all the knowledge and inspiration. I guess I used Eastern European pine.
Learning dado’s by making clocks.
Cherry from the orange home store. Finished with orange oil and beeswax. This was my first project with hand tools. For such a simple project it was a lesson in patience in which I still need education. The joints aren’t perfect, the panel is just OK (and my second attempt), but it’s my clock and I made it. I changed the panel size to 5 inches to match the stock width.
