re: Natural Edge Clocks

Thank you all for the nice comments.
Hi Steve. I took the clock to the guild meeting tonight and have one of the guys coming over to see the fractal burning. I used to demo it at the guild but they don't let me do it any more because  the AAW banned it so the guild board got scared.
Hi Ron, the reason I bored the holes in 2 steps was that I use a 3/8" hole for the pilot on the fly cutter. I go in from the top and the bottom to get a clean hole on the bottom. I went in part way on each side and then poured the epoxy which ran into the top groove. After 2 days, I cut in from the top and it cut out the epoxy and the wood. I did not want to do the partial cut from the bottom with the epoxy side down on the drill press.
Hi Alex. Do you have pistachio trees in Australia? We have them in California and Arizona and it is the prettiest wood that I use. I added a couple shots of the back cover on the clock. I did not want to have to pull out the movement and remove the cover to change the time each year or for battery replacement so I just cut clearance in the cover. Not a real clean cut  out but functional !
