I finished the clock I was doing for a friend. First clock. Not too bad. I think I will do more if people want them.

The FBE lazy susan I did was LOVED by the recipient.

Thanks for lookin

The clock looks great Robert.

I do hate to tell you though - the timepiece is WAY off. It's 12:15 right now not 10:10.


Was that your first flood coat? Excellent job. Did you tke any pics of the lazy susan?

That was with 3 coats just like the lazy susan. Its prolly just under 1/8" thick. I have pics of the LS also. Ill add them here too.

Thanks
Robert

BTW everyone is AMAZED at that FBE. They think I painted it or something

Heres the LS. The one shows the bark and how well it came out. A couple pieces broke off in the planer. I got most of it put back on but there is the one spot that I didnt want to force it. Its not hugely noticeable.

Thanks
Robert

Really nice, Robert!

I likes the shiney!

I know, it's rarely used on the high-end stuff, but there's not much "high-end" in the trailer here!:i_dunno:

Two-part epoxy. AKA "flood coat". This is the brand I have used for years - although I haven't done a flood coat in ~5 years or so. I don't care for the high gloss sheen for most projects, but there's an easy way to make it satin after it dries which looks gorgeous.

All a matter of preference and for this clock and LS they look great.
