Title: Inlay Clock
Post by: countryscroller on December 23, 2013, 09:12:50 am: I made this for my mom obviously, woods are Maple and Walnut. For some reason I couldn't get the hands to work and the motor was though. Oh well, we have two clocks in the kitchen anyway, so this is more decoration!

We made some of these some years back and found that we needed to paint the hands white or another contrasting color so they show up against the walnut.
