Title: Not much scroll work but something new
Post by: BilltheDiver on October 27, 2010, 10:04:58 pm

Got this idea from a clock in a gift catalog and decided to use the concept to create my own out of 3 inch think maple.  Made it sort of like a bandsaw box.  The only scroll work is the accents on the front, but I really like it so I thought I would post it here.

Thanks for all the nice words!  I was a little hesitant to post it here due to the fact that it didn't have a lot of scroll work, but I am pleased to hear that so many like it.

Love this idea and looks great , but mine had a six inch barrel - guess I'd have to have a lot bigger clock ..........

The one in the pic has a 4" barrel, so a 6 might just fit.  Of course it would be easy to adjust the size to accommodate whatever you need.  I didn't start with a pattern, I just drew what I wanted on the wood.  That way I couldn't fail to cut according to the plans  ::)

I love this project. I will definitely be stealing the idea for a pattern for the blog. Thanks for posting.
