005 - The egg clock

The egg clock scroll saw pattern is the result of my attempt to design a clock that could be made with a scroll saw but at the same time it should be very original.

In this section I show you more pictures of the egg clock along with several pictures taken during its construction. These pictures do not intend to be an exhaustive account or complete instructions, just some comments that can be of interest.

The main part of this clock is the egg, which is made of several dozens of slices. Every slice needs to be scrolled with a very precise bevel angle, determined for each one by the computer. When glued together these slices form the curved surface of the egg. The base of the clock contains a very elaborate fretwork.

This picture has been sent by Daniel Navarre from France. It shows two egg clocks perfectly crafted.

This picture has been sent by Juan Vazquez from Seville, Spain. The clock is entirely made with hardwood. The egg is made alternating orange tree wood and mahogany. The upper finial is made with pine and cedar. The lower fretworked pieces and the winged sphinxes are made with orange tree wood.
