Here I added some extras that I think would suit this clock. It’s made from hard wood Tasmanian Blackwood, difficult timber to work with reversing grain and full of silica but the end results are quite pleasing. To tackle the reversing grain I increased the bevel to 50° and yes the plane was hard to push which gave my biceps a great workout but it did solve the tearout issue I was having.

Thanks for sharing
10 May 2015 at 11:50 pm #127075Thanks guys
I first design the patterns in autocad and other times I just sift through books or google them. Sometimes it takes hours to find something that will suit.
11 May 2015 at 1:19 am #127076I did forget to mention one aspect of woodworking that works for me, this is something that I’m very much used too and find it difficult to work with out. I have a very serene environment around me and in the background I listen to mostly native american flutes and classical which I found on pandora.com
This helps me concentrate and has a calming effect which helps me see flaws and reduces mistakes.With any business you are under a considerable amount stress then there’s daily life, family etc. The minute I step into my shop I try to leave all that behind but it’s not possible to do it entirely so this helps and works for me.
For me the journey is the best part but the reward is the end product.
Hope this helps in your shop
@salko Very nice work!! The clock is beautiful!
I would like to get into scroll work eventually! Right now I’m getting my feet wet with veneering and marquetry. I like the fine detail work and find it almost soothing especially after the workweek.
Thanks for sharing!!
11 May 2015 at 4:52 am #127080Thanks Don I haven’t done any veneering work nor marquetry myself but do hope to get into it in the near future. Right now I don’t have the call for it.
12 May 2015 at 5:16 am #127104Simply awesome work, Salko. Those details make the clock really stand out. The wood is really beautiful, too. Way to go.
12 May 2015 at 1:15 pm #127108Beautiful clock Salko…the scroll work is a very nice touch. All the details from the joinery to the finish look superb!
