You must have a lot of patients. Looks like crop circles. Nice work.

Question Re: New guys first challenge clock face progress

Well I finally got it done, at least the carving and the final finish. Still have to fit a clock in, didn't buy one yet.
The community Hospital holds an auction every year, my daughter in law usually makes it happen. So this year they will get a Teapot Clock. ( hand carved)
