I decided a couple months ago it was time to kill a pine tree & sacrifice it's lumber to the Lumber Gods. The end results are as follows. I used an atomic clock that once set to stupid daylight savings time I never have to reset it. It gets it's reading from Colorado. Installed a mirror in the waist with some glass shelves for some of Diane's glass pieces.

Just the little 3 LED puck light lit.

Very nice Glen. :yoyo:
Pat
Wow!
Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind sentiments. I don't have a clue how many hours I have it in. I just worked on it when I felt good about being out there & took my time. I started it mid June. The only concept of time that I have on this is the 3 1/2hrs it took to stain it. :laf: :laf:
That turned out pretty nice Glen. I bet Diane loves it! :congrats:
very nice...
Nice looking clock you made there. Getting stain to be even with pine is a difficult task. How tall is it?
Jerry
Thanks again guys.
Diane would have liked it more had I put in a movement with chimes. But she's ok with the way it turned out. And pine is difficult to stain Jerry. That's why I used the gel stain. It finished out a tad shorter than I wanted at 6' 3 1/4". Was aiming for the 6' 6" mark but came up a tad short. Such is life. :laf: :laf:
Thanks Dale!!
This pic is much more realistic looking. The color is appropriate in this one.

Put some bricks under it! I won't tell[emoji2] I bet you looked at that old tree many times over the yrs and never thought it would become a beautiful piece of furniture.
Well done![emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122]

Thank you Carl. Woodworking is more enjoyable & relaxing than most of my other hobbies. I do OK at it. I'm happy with the things I create most of the time.

Not anymore. Those went to the scrap yard. Nobody around here wanted them. On the other hand there's a big market for dodge parts. :alscalls: :alscalls:
