Thread: Cat Clock

  1. #1

    Cat Clock

    Pardon the clutter; I'm running out of places to photograph my work (I need a photo box, I know). This is my first clock, a very simple silhouette of a cat. The wood is Spanish Cedar, with a couple of coats of Danish Oil. I based it on a clock I saw on the 'Net (but they had tails). Can you see the mouse on the second hand? I think that's hilarious. About 13" tall.

    cats are like tools - you can never have too many (five, currently).

    You have five and they all get along? We have 4, 2 male & 2 females all neutered. The two females tolerate one another--sorta.

    I really like the clock, Mike. The mouse hand is so cute! Where did you get it? I may have to make a cat clock myself (although cat items are forbidden at my house)!

    Thanks for the info, Mike. Yeah, I just received the notification about the PM's. I took care of it.

    Nice

    Not a big cat fan here but I like your project. When I read the title I was half expecting the classic clock with the cats tail swinging. I was intriqued how did he build that! ?
