Hourglass

[bzeyher]

I finally completed my hourglass that I wanted to do when I saw Steve Good?s pattern.
Unfortunately the 9 inch hourglass was no longer available but I was able to modify the pattern to use the 11 inch hourglass from Rockler.

The glass nipple was a bit too long for the ? inch thick top and bottom and I had no ? inch stock. For this reason I simply drilled through the wood and placed a 1/8 inch thick walnut piece to hide the hole. This also made it easier to sand the top and bottom round with a rotary sander and a simple jig.

I used ? inch blood wood and finished it with mineral oil.

Thanks for looking

That's pretty.  Is that how you time the hours you work in your shop?

Thanks for all the nice comments.

My first idea was to use it with my grandchildren: when the sand runs out it it bedtime :-)
My trial runs resulted in me falling asleep, I guess it does work
