    One of the advantages/disadvantages of being a turner is that I will buy boards that catch my eye, generally with interesting grain patterns, and wait for a project to suggest itself.

    I’ve had a piece of willow kicking around for a couple of years. It finally decided it wanted to be a wall clock. I modified the design to fit the clock face and, of course the amount of material I had.

    I left out the bead detail and the roundovers as I wanted the focus to be on the grain pattern. I’m very pleased with how this turned out.

    Nice job Peter – what finish did you use to bring out that wonderful grain, please?

    Thanks for your kind comments.

    The finish is four coats of blond shellac and then paste wax, applied with steel wool, and buffed with a cloth. The willow was quite thirsty so it took the first two coats to seal it.

    I think the main thing I learned from this project was the stopped grooves which hold the panel with the clock face behind the glass. Doing them by hand took less time than the setup on the router table would have taken.
