New Design Wall Clock

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


In the past, I did a wall clock that had more of a star shape, and I really liked the look:However, the circles made for little gluing surface (and were a pain to assemble… next time I'll use dowels!). In fact, this clock is so fragile that I've decided to keep it for myself.But, I liked the star shape of it, so I decided to try it again. I ended up using the last of my 1.5” Ambrosia Maple (at least the AM with any fun grain to it). This design gives much more surface to glue, and overall it feels pretty sturdy. I wasn't able to get the miters perfect (the angle pieces were almost impossible to clamp), but overall I was pretty pleased with the look.It's about 14 inches tall and 11 inches across.Rummaging through my scrap burl box, I stumbled on a piece that I felt made a perfect centerpiece. It's finished in a wipe-on gloss poly with two different color end caps on the ends of the “spokes.”
