Ten-pin clock

[Aggrajag]

One of a kind, designed especially for my Dad who's bowled in local leagues for years...

3/4" oak sanded and sealed, no varnish or wax but shiny smooth. Unfortunately I didn't want to risk removing the oh-so-fine clock hands so I had to cut the printed bowling ball and slot it in.

Ornament sized, it's only 13cm across.

Love it! and like how you have fitted the clock into the design (how did you get the ball in there?) also the red stripes are a very nice touch.
Your Dad will love it

Cheers

Nice one, he's going to like that.

I wondered what Brian meant about the ball, then I clicked on the pic to view it full size. My eye test is long overdue.

Thanks guys.

I found an image online and printed it out to the correct size. It was then a simple matter of removing the back from the clock, pulling out the winder (there's a little release button) and sliding the image in along the (visible ) cut. I used a spray adhesive to stick it down closely so it wouldn't interfere with the hands.

Ideally I'd have removed the hands and placed it on with no cut but as I said above, the hands were so fiddly I was worried they'd never go back on and actually work.
