[Herb Stoops]

This is my latest Holly wood project. Which looks the best, here are 4 different ways to make it?

Herb

 

[Cherryville Chuck]

I think #1 for me.

I made a mistake, the 4th one is a duplicate. Here is the one that is missing.

this one Herb...

#1, because the clock face is more symmetrical. However, the feet on the bottom look a little out of proportion - I would maybe look at making the bottom out of two layers, with the bottom one slightly larger than the upper, to give some "flow" to the assembly. Nice work, I'm sure that she'll be happy with it.

#1...

 

[Shop guy]

I like them all but if I must pick one it would be #1.

 

[Stick486]

I'd like to vote for #1 Herb...

 

[TwoSkies57]

#1.. I'd be tempted to add a barometer, hygrometer, thermometer and just about any other "O"meter i could get my hands on

good plan...

They all look good , I’m just not big on the base

 

[honesttjohn]

Ditto on the base.

Either the first or last.

Other meters if they are smaller than the clock.

 

[woodknots]

I like #1 Herb - #2 and #3 look like a side view of a hog - sorry, couldn't resist.

Just a thought; how about an engraving*, with the clock somewhat offset rather than centered?

OK, The base goes, I didn't like it either.

What do you think of this base?

Will stay with #1 an it seems to be most liked.

kant the top edge...
stick on button clear pads...

 

[DesertRatTom]

Shocking, simply shocking. Doesn't this edge of the plank look a little like Stick, with his face looking up? The man is everywhere!
