Simple Ambrosia Maple Wall Clock

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Yesterday, looking over my 5 1/2” Ambrosia Maple, I was thinking of doing another skinny clock, but then saw the potential for a different kind of clock. The three boards I recently bought are highly patterned, and I think the wood speaks for itself over any fancy design.I might do another of these today!A few things I did. I did round the corners. I also applied a black stain to the edges and, though it wasn't the intent, the black sides seem to accentuate the “floating” effect that I was going for (similar to what I've done with the skinny clocks).It's about 14” by 5 1/2”.There are no embellishments to this board… no “extra” patterns drawn in with touch-up pens or pencil.Everything you see was in the wood.Sometimes staying simple, when the wood speaks for itself, is the way to go.
