scroll saw fretwork wooden clock with three dragons

The Dragons Clock

 

scroll saw fretwork wooden dragons clock in two golden colors

   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 measures of the clock depending on the wood width 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.

 These three pictures have been sent to me 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.
