The clock was very easy to make.
I started by getting a clock slice burl that was about 25mm (1") thick and put it on the lathe to true both faces of the slice.
I then turned out a hole that was 145mm using a parting tool to house the skeleton clock fitup.
I then put the blank on the table saw to cut a straight line as the base for it to sit on the mantle.
Once the blank was turned, I sanded it by hand with a random orbital sander to 1,500 grit.
The finish I used was Organoil Danish Oil - here is the link to the item that I used - http://www.timberbits.com/organoil-danish-oil.html
Once the finish was dry, I assembled the clock.

I am so happy with the results of this project.
