Story : In this episode of DIY Wood Works, host David Marks builds an elegant table-top clock with a face made from wenge and quilted-maple veneer. The design of this contemporary clock provides some opportunities for working with advanced woodworking techniques -- including creation of wood veneering, use of a vacuum press, and shaping a solid wood block into a faceted top-piece. The straight lines of the finished case, and the symmetry of the sculpted top, are characteristic of the enduring arts-and-crafts style of furniture design. The alternating wedges of quilted maple and wengae create a striking look for the clock face.
