This has been years in the making and complete since retiring. The cove molding at the bottom of the waist was made with my CNC. The the crown was purchased from a local mill and modified sligntly. I have made several clocks and given them away, but now I have 4 of my making in my house.
Furniture does not need “Legs” to be furniture. It just need that classy personalized look. This is a clock I started 30 years ago and now finished only after retiring. The clock is from plans purchased from Craft Products in St. Charles, Il. I lost the plans when we moved 14 years ago.

I modified the crown slightly (making it taller to accomidate the star inlay). The inlay is made of Walnut and Maple. I used my CNC to cut out the pocket and constracting woods. I cleaned the pocket with an Exacto hobby knife (this was my first attempt at inlay).

I wanted to personalize my clock and get away from the "store bought" look. Using Avery 15664 labels and the "Little Lord Font LeRoy" fonts, I mirrored and a 4 point stretch to get the look I wanted. Placing labels on the back side of the glass. I cut out the parts out to be etched and painted with gold hobby paint. I feel that the effort has been worth it, giving the clock a classy look.
