Clock & More

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Clock & MoreFinished another quick clock nothing new except I needed lighter hands so spray painted the hands silver rather than white. The burl really popped with the poly on it.The last pick, however, brings me the most pride. Inspired to do better by fellow LJs, I went out and bought a new saw for my miter box. Man, the other blade was so old and dull. I decided to cut out future clock frames. I worked really slowly and carefully. The joints are the best I've ever done. Perfect? No. Did I employ a trick or two I read online. Sure. But I'm actually proud of these joints. I'll probably still glue on my cheats, but because I like the look, not because I'm covering anything shoddy.

Musical Jewelry Box for Granddaughter

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Musical Jewelry Box for GranddaughterI haven't done any chip carving in awhile so figured I'd make a box but couldn't decide as to what kind of box I could make since no one really wanted anything. Then it dawned on me, my now 2-month old granddaughter needs a music box like her mother. After some thought, I chose to add a ballerina this time and decided to mimic the jewelry box picture on the site I purchased the movement from.It's made of Bolivian Rosewood, Birdseye Maple, Walnut, and Basswood. The wife drew the roses for me then I carved and painted them. The ring holders on the inside are handmade from fabric I purchased from Joann's.
