Very cool!

Although personally I'd re-title the thread to "Dining Room Clock." :D

Clock number 2
Took out the bird song electronics, replaced the cardboard with a disk of birch veneer. Used some chrome acorn nuts for the hour spots.
My wife picked out the bands, did the layout and gluing of the bands.
Sorry for the poor picture.:confused: Hard to photograph with the glass in place.

NICE! How did you accomplish the red background? Felt? Paint? I need a clock for my office, I must know!
