My wooden wall clock

[mirock]

Hi! It is my project of wooden wallclocks making.

I have got some pieces of tiger-wood and sought some way to show all beauty of this wood.
I decide to make very symple thing without any distracting details. The main goal was to show wooden structure.

These boards from parquet set has a mortise-tennon system of assembly.

First I need to make shield.

Then I take machanism from cheap clock and glued up wooden arrows

I though need to make some bevel on edges

Process of making hole for clock mechanism

After polishing and gluing numbers I cover my clock by oil

It is finished

And installed on place

My clocks works well, though I had some concerns about accuracy of time because of weight of wooden arrows. But nothing happened with them. I think some days to checking is enough.

Here is a video of the process:

Very nice.
I like how you hid the tongue and grooves on the boards with the bevel.
I saw your wooden Systainer in a video. Very nice.

It turned out very elegant Vladimir.  Nice job.
By the way, what kind of router template guides are you using there in picture 5?

It is my self-made jig like festool mfs. Second generation. First one I had made of plywood and t-track. This one has excentric lock and just 10mm thickness. In one project thickness was very important and I had made this template. Here is the link:

Thank you! I have just one kind of oil - OSMO Top Oil. Recently I tried it as finishing. Need to say it is very good for my needs when I want to show wood structure using exotic kinds

No need to use russian. I am not russian but ukrainian and I understand english well. Maybe I make mistakes but read, speak and write freely.

This wood came to us in Ukraine  fron South America as parquet
