Rotary Influenced Clock

While visiting my brother's family in Ithaca, NY a couple weeks ago, I saw an artist/woodworker's display in a market and got an idea. So, I decided to do a little cutting and sanding yesterday and wound up making this rotor shaped clock. The face is walnut and the markers are maple. I finished the whole thing with a coat of linseed oil. The number "8" didn't turn out as nice as I wanted and some of the markers darkened a little too much with the linseed oil. Oh well, I can justify the imperfections by claiming they give the clock its "character". Anyway, overall size is about 7" between tips and around 3/4" thick.

Looks great. Worthy of mass production. Call Mazda, cut a deal, make millions (okay, maybe just thousands). All kidding aside, it's nice work.

It's pretty sweet, though it kind of says "Brady Bunch" to me. Not my style, but nice work none the less.
