hello fellow ww's
I am currently working on a tall case clock ( some may prefere to call it a Grandfathers clock ) that is a loose copy of one from the 18th century that has an arched painted dial. I was wondering if any creeker has built one and if so what type of glass did they use. Here are the choices :
1. High quality UV filtering picture glass
2. Regular Picture glass
3. Reproduction hand blown glass that has some distortion to it.
4. something I haven't thought of
The door is arched as are the side lites. I have built arched clock doors before and cutting the glass it trickey ( last time it took about 3 sheets before I got it right ) . The reproduction glass will cost 60 bucks a sheet so I am a little worried about the cost, but the end product is more important.
comments welcomed, I am open to your recommendations
thanks
