    Curly Maple Shaker Wall Clock....PIC

    Hi All,

    The weather here has been overcast for awhile and today I finally got a chance to take this Shaker wall clock off the wall and photograph it outside. I've been waiting to shoot this recently finished project outside but until today weather and other things have kept me from it.

    The entire clock was made from a single slab of 8/4 Maple that was 14" wide and over 8' long. Resawn from this slab and coated with 4 coats of oil base gloss poly I am pleased with the outcome. Although it looks not too bad in the photo, it looks ten times better in person, the entire clock is highly figured. The clock is 32" tall, 12" wide and 5" deep.

    All the best
    Gord

    Very nice clock. That is on my items to build list. I just hope it comes out half as nice as yours did.

    Is that curly or tiger stripe? Or are they synonymous?
