Owl Designer Wall Clock

As woody plants grow in diameter a new layer of wood is produced each year by the cambium. This layer is called as annual ring or growth ring. These rings have always fascinated me. I always tried searching beauty in these rings. When the wood is cut in planks one could get half circles. These half circles when joined together we could see as if owl is staring at us.

This has inspire me to use this beauty in wall clock & make an owl designer clock. This project is an outcome of the same. I have explained step by step how to convert wall clock into owl designer clock.

Tools:

1. Hack Saws
2. Vice
3. Screw Drives
4. Wooden blocks with rings.
5. Ratan Gunj (Adenanthera pavonina) seeds.
6. Adhesive

Fix a wooden block (having rings) in vice. Make a marking at 2 mm with the help of sharp pencil.

Take a hack saw. Check hack saw for sharp & straight blade. Depend on wooden block length use small or big hack saw to cut on the marked line. Slowly cut through the line. While cutting make sure pencil line, hack saw blade, your hand & shoulder are in one line. After some cutting make sure your cut is going straight. To check this 2mm marking should be on both the sides of wooden block.

Few wooden slices are shown in above picture.

Select a wall clock which is having enough space (3mm Plus) in between dial surface & hour arm.

1. Remove A Cell From Clock. (Picture 1)
2. Remove Back cover with the help of screw driver. (Picture 2)
3. Remove A dial & turn it.(Picture 3)

Fix four wooden slices on the dial as shown in above picture. Use appropriate adhesive (In this case we have used Fevi Kwik)

Four wooden slices also fixed at four corners.

Fixed 12 Ratan Gunj seeds using adhesive, one each at hour point to add beauty.

Reassembled dial & back cover. By putting in cell owl design wall clock is ready to use.
