A break from pens

[Bill Sampson]

Took a break from turning pens and made a couple flatwork projects.
The clock was built from old growth cherry (long story) with plans designed byMark Sommerfeld. I changed the plans to accommodate a mechanical works in place of a quartz movement. All panels were done using Mark's Jr. raised panel cutters.

The end grain cutting board was a project I saw on the web. Bruce Robbins,(IAP member) was kind enough to program his CNC machine and cut the stars in the purple heart and they were inlaid with Maple. The board was completed using purple heart, padauk, and maple.

Next project is to turn two Rolex watch pen blanks from CaptG.

Don't forget the MAPG, the first weekend in May!!

Nice work, would almost hate to use the cutting board. The clock is a work of art.

Love the finish on the clock. There is some time involved there. Nice job on both projects. It is great when you have the abilities to do flatwork or other type woodworking. Makes you appreciate the tools more that we acquire. CaptG does a great job with his blanks. Don't screw them up(no pressure there)

Wonderful job on both pieces Bill! Nice of Bruce to help you out too!
I would hang the cutting board on the wall. It is too nice to cut on.


See you at MAPG!
