Golf

Okay, I am going to prepare you for golf, golf, and more golf coming soon. Ray golfed Pebble Beach Country Club today and it is only a matter of time before you are inundated with pictures and stories of his noble triumph (or something like that). Just a friendly warning!

The Christmas Clock

I decided to make Nana a clock to go in her piano studio for Christmas. The clock is set into the body of a twenty-inch tall treble clef that is mounted on a music staff to scale with a sharp and an eighth note. The clef, sharp, and eighth note are dadoed to receive the lines on the staff. The notation is done in walnut and the clock face is done in hard maple and walnut. The face is divided into 12 sectors with each sector representing a step and 1/2 step in an octave. The half steps are done in walnut and correspond to the "black" keys on the piano. The clock face was laminated and then turned on the lathe. The back of the face was tenoned with the lathe into a routed mortise on the treble clef face. The clock movement was mortised into the back of the clef. It was a fun project and will hopefully help Nana's students learn some music theory.
