Arts And Crafts Style Wall Clock With Greene And Greene Ebony Plugs

This clock was originally made without the ebony plugs and was featured on other websites. 

Splinter said his clocks were inspired by something about my clock but if you look at his you’ll see it’s really his own design and a good one too.

I thought if Splinters clocks looked good with ebony plugs mine would look great. So there Splinter.😏

I set my drill press stop and drilled the holes in the clock where the plugs were to go.

As I was drilling and banging on the clock I could hear its little heart still beating (tick talk) and I was hoping he would survive the operation. 😥

I knew I was taking a chance and I could ruin the clock or break the glass, but I did it anyway. 😬

After I drilled the holes I cut the square parts out of it with a 3/8” hollow mortise tool, and 3/8” and 1/4” hand chisels.

And it worked. 🤗. Below I’m applying pure Tung Oil from LeeValley with a Q Tip.
