Fly Fishing Clock Take Three

Furnished content.

Fly Fishing Clock Take ThreeMy wife is traveling for work, so this weekend I find myself with more time than usual. I received some feedback regarding my previous fly fishing clocks, and I decided to try to incorporate it.I started by making my traditional frame of 6.5” by 9.5”. I had some left over pieces of the ambrosia maple that I'd found at Lowes, so I used those pieces to make the outside frame.I had a fairly good size piece of wild cherry gall among my gall and burl pieces and, after grinding and sanding it, I saw that it would be a good clock face for this particular clock. Following Dick's advice, I tried to keep the frame plain, with only the fish and the fly rod as add-ons. Following fellow LJ Eric's idea, I made my fish from a piece of basswood I'd found at Michael's Craft Store.I will admit it was difficult for me not to add more pieces of burl. I do think the wild cherry gall is handsome enough that it is all that the clock needs. Given the “less busy” style of this clock, I felt that it could handle more elaborate clock hands.I'm pretty pleased with the fish. The fly rod is looking good to me too.
