Clock update. I cut out the wood around the letters last night using my Dremel with a ball bit. I like the rough cut look of the wood and the rough edges of the words.
Today I put the clock movement in it.
The board is a 2 x 12, twenty inches long (wide?). I used my router to create a hole in the back for the clock movement to fit in and the hole is deep enough that the clock doesn't stick out the back.
I painted the letters and shield black and I will let it dry overnight and see if I need a second coat.
I think it turned out pretty nice and I can use it as advertising at craft show booths.
I think I am just going to let it age naturally versus applying a poly spray finish.
I am also not sure if I need some kind of embellishments on the left side. What do you think?

I am working on creating a clock for myself and incorporate my logo into it. Logo on the right and the clock will go on the left.
I laid out the template and then took my Dremel and started cutting away. It is still a work in progress and may be a little hard to see but hopefully tomorrow I can get more done.

Looks good Mark, I've started doing signs myself. I got layout letters on the way. I'm looking forward to seeing this finished!
