The clock was something my wife (Karen) wanted. She asked that I create a wall clock that shows the wall behind it, that had a "rustic" look to it, and had no numbers. This was a challenge I could not pass up. I was sneaky on this. I knew she wanted a round clock, but to make it properly I would need a "new tool". That tool was a circle cutting jig from Rockler's wood working tool store. Go get it she said :-) Please note, I am not advertising this company, BUT, they do have a LOT of the tools I have used to create many of my projects.
