Just finished the Country Cottage Grandfather lock from Dirk Boelman's plans. White oak and black walnut with the top ornament from bloodwood. Every piece is 3/4" thick. Quartz movement with progressive Westminster chimes and a seperate pendulum drive unit. Top three sections have an access door in the rear. Finish is 3 coats of Waterlox Finish And Sealer, with a 4th coat of Waterlox Satin. 1st coat brushed, 2nd coat sprayed, 3rd and 4th coats brushed, and sanded with 400 grit after 3rd coat. Has a hand rubbed appearance. Thumbs up to Waterlox. Stands close to 6 1/2' tall. The oak is from cutoffs from a dry kiln that gave them away for firewood. And some of it was.

Thank you for all the kind words. I started working on it in Feb. Mainly on the weekends because I'm still driving over the road. All the pieces are 3/4". Most of my lumber comes from the sawmill and I sticker and dry it. Happy sawdusting.Manufacturer Of Heirloom Quality Sawdust

Since tilt arm style saws are my personal favorite . . . I can criticize it right? I hate the freaking dust collection mechanism on my King, and prefer the table on the older Green EX that didn't have that....-
