I found This project in one of the many project books Norm has out. His instructions are perfect and easy to understand. I love the craft and always looking for new projects and ways to improve. I have made several of this style clock. I changed this one. Used oak and a glass front. The oak was filled with oak timber mate filler, sanded and coated with danish oil. Four more coats using danish oil and wet sanding with 400& 600 grit. Waxed and polished. Thanks Norm for the inspiration.
