Patron Saint and Oak and Cedar Clock

Patron Saint of all Workshops
Latest Project for Textures
This fellow is the patron saint of many a work shop. Where would we be with out cookies to have with our coffee.  Coffee time is think time for me.  When my frustration mounts to audible colourful language it is time for a coffee and a rethink.

The clock is about 10 inches square and has a battery movement.  I like the clean numberless face rather covering the grain with numbers or other forms of marking.  For me it is all about the grain,  the finish is several coats of  blond shellac .  Even the cedar framing has some grain of note when finished with shellac.
