015 - The Dragons Clock

This is an extremely intricate clock containing three dragons and lots of leaves and veining. I have digitalized and restored an old Italian pattern to obtain it. The veining is very delicate and should be cut with a very fine round blade. The rest of inner cuts can be cut with your preferred blade. The clock admits either a clock insert or a pendulum mechanism clock.

The clock is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 inches wood or with 6 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will to fit any wood thickness. The following table gives the dimensions of the clock depending on the wood thickness you use:

Clock height Clock depth Clock width
1/4 in. wood 15.1 in. 5.5 in. 11 in.
6 mm wood 36.1 cm 13.1 cm 26.6 cm
8 mm wood 48.2 cm 17.4 cm 35.4 cm

This picture has been sent by Paolo Cantonetti from Italy. The quality of his work is outstanding. Take into account that he has made this clock with a hand saw. In particular I love the subtle combination of golden tones that he has chosen.

Please note that this pattern is registered and copyrighted. If you would like to have it I offer it for 11 € plus shipping. The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to info@finescrollsaw.com to buy this pattern or for any questions.

The two right pictures show how Lutz has transformed the dragon's clock into a really original wall light clock.
