    You can see pt 1 of how I made this faux clock here.

    You can see pt 2 where I glazed and added the details here.

     

     

    I love my readers, they give such great advice! Check out what Sarah said when I first posted this faux clock:

    Gail strikes again! This is amazing! I know you took the round top off the table but if it were me, Id put it back on, cut down the table legs and make it into a coffee table...but that’s just me b/c I’m in the mood for wanting a round coffee table 🙂 Or it could be an outdoor clock like for a pool area (as long as it were under a covering) I cant wait to see what you do with it.
    Sarah
    What Sarah didn’t know was I had already given the table base a new top, and it had already found a new home. But!
    100_7569
    Do you remember these legs that I found when I cleaned out the shed?
    100_7566
    Look what happens when I put the table top on them!
     100_7567
     100_7568
    Yep, I like how it’s looking! I think it’s a perfect fit.
     100_ faux clock table 7618
    I painted the legs with 2 coats of primer, and then did a dark walnut stain as a glaze. Is that cheating? Going right from primer to stain? I didn’t see any sense in putting semi-gloss or gloss paint on and then staining over that.

    The legs are a rectangular shape. In this picture the table faces the narrow side.

    A different angle.
     100_ faux clock table 7618
    In this picture the table faces the wider side of the legs. Miss Mustard Seed would be pleased to know that this clock “spoke” to me and told me it wanted to be a table again. Well that  and my friend Sarah’s words were still sloshing around in the ole’ brain. I sealed the top with several coats of polycrylic. Sometimes it takes me weeks to totally finish a project. As of now, the hardware to hang this is still on the back. I thought maybe it would sell easier if it were a table. But if someone chooses to remove it from the legs, it’s alright with me.

    I used a similar technique on a faux pocket watch, you can see here.

      I love that table. I think it's a great idea to leave the hanger on the back of the clock. That way if someone loves the clock but not on the legs, you can take it apart for them and the legs can be used in another project. It's a good thing I don't live near you or Rose. I'd be in real trouble. 🙂

      Great table- Gail.
      So what it takes you weeks to finish a project... I think it sat around waiting for those legs to become a table again... Perfect 'TIMING' !!!

      Gail that top just goes so well with the legs it looks like they were made to go together. I much prefer it as a table, it's great!
