    Finished Walnut Clock for Christmas

    I finished this clock for my mom this weekend. The Walnut burl face is some burl veneer Dennis Peacock gave me last year (thanks Dennis). I finally got to use some. It was nice to do a smaller project after doing some larger ones this year. It is 9" x 11". Finish is BLO and lacquer.

    Thanks,
    Rick

    Isn't it great giving Mom presents you made yourself. I feel like I'm in 2nd grade again, but now she doesn't put them on the edge of the counter top and "accidentally" knock them onto the floor.
