Michael,

Outstanding finish, really really looks good.

Way to go Sir.

I'm not sure if synchroon is a proper word for a clock or not - but it sounded cool to me!

Yahoo's Dutch to English translator translates "synchroon" as "synchronous".

Thanks for checking that out - good deal - that fits a clock alright!

This is what I came up with for the Industria Synchroon. I tried to make it look a little antiquish with some green's and gold tones.
I used a gold, green and blue color wash stain with some oak stain.

Great project Michael! Thanks for creating it.

Been really tough to get time for woodworking lately. Really wanted to do this POM and took 3 weekends, yesterday, today to finish it. Cannot wait till July when this job will be done and back to retirement
Anyway, decided to make this one out of Walnut for the Walnut table we have in the 2nd bedroom. No clocks in that room. The pins out of oak for some contrast. Yes, that is a stain glass in the top of the table. Silly idea I came up with when I made it. But, the walnut clock goes nice with the table, and you know the boss just loved it. Said the clock may show up in other places. Told her maybe I'll make the next out of oak with walnut pins.
Great Job on this one Michael!

The Industria Synchroon is a fun project. Here is a couple pics of my rendition. I went for the old machinery look and made it look dirty and rusty and banged up. I made hex nuts on my Carvewright and installed them on the levers. First, I painted everything a flat brown using a canned spray-on, then dry brushed the red and yellow in acrylic paint for the rust. The steel color on the edges is "Rub-n-Buff" silver leaf.
