CABLE SPOOL CLOCK

I've been wanting to try this project forever......
and finally did!
This is the top of a rescued cable spool.
I white washed and waxed it, added some house numbers and a clock kit to turn it in to
a working clock.
Happy day!

  7. I don't think I have seen anything like your clock before. You did a fabulous job. I have an outdoor clock that needs the clock works replaced, where did you find the large ones?

  9. What a great project Janis. I have a small cable spool on my front porch that I use as a bit of a coffee table, but I can envision something changing all of that maybe some day...
    Beautiful as always!
