    That is a totally awesome project. Is the background painted of printed?

    Great pattern and cutting. Why do you shellac before lacquer? I'm always interested in different processes.

    I spray all my backers with black lacquer. I glue on the plywood with Weldbond. It holds awesome. Then I spray over the whole thing with clear Lacquer. I use a Titan Flexspray and have several cupheads for all the colors I use. I clean mine about once every three months. I don't recess my clocks. i

    I use a lot of 1/2" Baltic birch for backer and stain it Jacobean. This clock is 14" x 14" so I would not be able to use a solid backer. I never get any negative comments about the edges. I also paint them black at times. I stack cut the front five at a time and cut the backers individually.

    After watching Kevin's video on how to make Beeswax / Mineral Oil Finish it inspired me to give it a try. I thought about sending him a PM but decided if I posted it here maybe someone else would benefit. I used one cup Mineral oil and 1/4 cup beeswax. I sanded a sample piece of walnut with 220. It made a nice soft smooth finish. I was disappointed that there was no luster at all. Would changing the recipe add any luster?

    The good shows in this area can charge just about whatever they want. If you don't get your name in early you won't get a space. I don't mind paying it because the events get sooo many people.

    I sold several boxes but not that one. Lot of lookers.
  23. Dave Monk
