Assembly time again. I still have some pieces of top rail to cut out and then I can attache all the rail and apply the finish of 50/50 BLO and Deft Lacquer. This project has been more trouble than the clock was. The patterns were very poor quality and none of the dimensions matched. Had to do a lot of remarking and measuring on the patterns. The wood preparation was a chore also. This is 100% cherry from North Carolina and I had to mill all of it from 5/4 rough sawmill stock. There was a lot of resawing, planing and sanding to get the boards ready for cutting on the scroll saw. Had a lot of warpage in wood but plenty clamps corrected that problem so glue up is as close to square as I can get it. The base is 3/4" thich. panels 3/8" thick, and the top floor 1/4" thick. I will post a picture when complete with and without the clock on it. This stand is 29" long, 15 1/4" deep and 11" high. Hope you enjoy pictures.
